Shoaib Akhtar was known for ruffling quite a few feathers during his playing days. He used to run in with all his might and terrorise batters with his deliveries. In fact, he holds the record for the fastest delivery in international cricket. However. Injuries and controversies became an integral part of Akhtar’s career as well. He also played for the Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League.

In the meantime, the Rawalpindi Express had a friendly banter with veteran spinner Harbhajan Singh on Twitter. Both cricketers are a part of the panel of analysts for the T20 World Cup in Oman and the United Arab Emirates. Their conversation added some more excitement prior to India’s game against Pakistan on Sunday, October 24 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.

“With Mr. I know it all @harbhajan_singh in Dubai for a pre discussion about the mother of all competitions,” Akhtar wrote.

Harbhajan isn’t someone to keep quiet for long. He sent out an apt reply for the retired speedster. “When u have 400 plus test wickets am sure you know more about cricket then someone with less than 200 wickets (sic),” Harbhajan replied.

“The rules of retention are not clear yet…We are not sure about the number of retentions that will be allowed. And a call on that will be made once the rules are known,” the official was quoted as saying .
