Former Pakistan fast bowler, Shoaib Akhtar, expressed his disappointed and despair after the Pakistani team were all out against India in the ICC ODI World Cup 2023. The Men in Green started off well with the bat as the top-order seemed in a good touch. But after Pakistan lost its key players - Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan, the remaining batting fell-apart like nine pins.
