Akhtar had tweeted how he can get Steve Smith out in just four deliveries.
Former Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar was upset after ICC's Twitter account tried to pull his leg over a tweet. His tweet was regarding a battle against Australia batsman Steve Smith and how he will get him out in just four deliveries.
ESPNCricinfo had brought the cricketers from two-generation against each other to let the cricket fans share their opinion who could possibly win? The bowlers were from the previous era and batsmen from the modern-day.

It was Shoaib versus Smith on which the former wrote, "Even today, 3 hurting bouncers and I can dismiss Smith on the 4th ball. Lol".
ICC surprised everyone when they turned the reply into a meme and that too against the ex-Pakistan bowler. He surely didn't like it. "A symbolic tweet, how ICC has thrown neutrality out of the window. Basically, this is how the state of affairs are run there :)", the first response from Akhtar read.
He came up with a video of him destroying the opposition batsman to prove his worth. "Dear @icc, find a new meme or Emoji. Sorry I couldn't find any, only found some real videos", he wrote.
