Former Pakistan cricketer Sikandar Bakht mocked Team India regarding the toss ahead of the 2023 World Cup final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on November 19th (Sunday). The 66-year-old took to his official handle on X and took a jibe at a Twitter user's video of a funny clip, involving India Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Following Team India's semi-final victory over New Zealand at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, Sikandar Bakht accused Rohit Sharma of toss-fixing. While speaking to a local channel, he accused Rohit of spinning the coin too far and not allowing the opposition captain to see what is the outcome.
After being trolled for his comments regarding the toss, Bakht used Prime Minister Narendra Modi's video of interacting with kids on Children's day, where he was seen showing a coin trick.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi engaged with a group of children who visited him at his office, showcasing a coin trick that left the kids in awe. In the video shared on social media, the prime minister performed a "magic trick," adhering a coin to his forehead.
Taking a jibe over the video, Bakht wrote, "Ha ha Good to see Indians taking my advice for the final’s toss and I hope my fellow cricketers won’t be further embarrassed."
Massive crowd expected at the Narendra Modi Stadium:
With Team India starting as overwhelming favourites to clinch the trophy, a packed house is expected in Ahmedabad on Sunday. The Men in Blue, led by Rohit Sharma, have performed exceedingly well until now, winning 10 consecutive games.
Despite Australia's inconsistent form, Rohit Sharma's form will count them out in their own peril. Having reached the final for the 8th time and clinched the trophy on a record 5 occasions, Australia are a daunting prospect when it comes to the finals.
The Men in Yellow clinched a nervy three-wicket win over South Africa in the semi-final to seal their place in the final.
