A war of words has broken out among the cricket fraternity from both India and Pakistan ever since former speedster Shoaib Akhtar suggested an India-Pakistan series to raise funds to the fight the ongoing global Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
After Kapil Dev and Shahid Afridi’s contrasting opinions on the idea, former India captain Sunil Gavaskar joined the debate by saying that Lahore may receive some snowfall but there are no chances of a bilateral series between India and Pakistan in the present circumstances.
Gavaskar had told former Pakistan batsman Rameez Raja on his Youtube channel, “There are more chances of snowfall in Lahore than bilateral series between India and Pakistan. Both teams will keep on meeting in World Cups and ICC tournaments, but a series between them seem unlikely right now.”
Well, after replying to Kapil Dev’s criticism of his proposal by saying the Indian legend doesn't need money but everyone else does, the Rawalpindi Express decided to respond to Gavaskar regarding the India-Pakistan series in the later’s style on social media.
Taking to Twitter on Tuesday (April 14), Shoaib wrote: “Well Sunny Bhai, we did have snowfall in Lahore last year :) So nothing is impossible.”
Noteworthy, India and Pakistan have not played a full-series since 2007 due to the diplomatic tension between the two nations, only meets in ICC events and Asia Cup.
