Legendary player Wasim Akram against Rohit Sharma for toss-fixing in the semi-final match against New Zealand.
Akram came out against former Pakistan player Sikander Bakht’s statement that Rohit Sharma worked to favor the toss.
Bakht alleged that Rohit Sharma tossed the coin too far from where New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson was standing in the semi-final toss.
Bakht said that Kane Williamson could not see in whose favor the toss was received in this situation and Rohit Sharma was trying to make the toss in his favor.
Bakht added that with this the match could be turned in India’s favor and win.
Wasim Akram disagreed with this. Waseem Akram said that there is no particular rule where the coin should land during the tossing, and for sponsorship reasons, wherever it lands on the mat is sufficient.
Wasim Akram said that such statements are shameful. Akram said this in an interview to A Sports.
‘Who can say where the coin will land during the toss? Matt is there for sponsorship reasons. I feel ashamed when I hear all this,’ said Akram.
Apart from Wasim Akram, former Indian superstar Irfan Pathan also criticized Bakht. Pathan said that this was just Bakht’s attempt to become famous by tarnishing Indian cricket.
