Mumbai: Former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag has described former Pakistan fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar as a man of arms. Sehwag says Akhtar’s bowling was comparable to that of former Australia pacer Brett Lee. Sehwag had said that it was easy for him to understand and play Brett Lee’s balls but he had a hard time understanding Akhtar’s balls which he threw.
However, in response to Sehwag’s statement, Akhtar said he did not want the relationship to deteriorate, adding that if Sehwag is more knowledgeable than the ICC, he can stand his ground. I have a different opinion about Sehwag.

I have not seen Sehwag’s interview. Sehwag is a close friend of mine. So I do not know if he said it jokingly or seriously. My personal opinion is that cricketers should never make comments that could worsen India-Pakistan relations. Moreover, I am ready to be a bridge to anything that can be done to improve relations between the two countries. “So I just want to tell Sehwag to be a little more careful when making such statements,” Akhtar said.

Sehwag had said that Akhtar also knew that he was folding his arms when he bowled. Akhtar knew he was being handcuffed and thrown. Otherwise, the ICC will not ban him. I was not scared when I faced Brett Lee. But that is not the case with Akhtar. Akhtar can not predict what kind of ball he will throw. “If I hit him with two fours in a row, the next ball will be a beamer or a yorker,” Sehwag told Sports18.
