Team India is not Tees Maar Khan, they too will be knocked out of T20 World Cup: Shoaib Akhtar makes bold prediction
After Pakistan’s loss against Zimbabwe, former Pakistan players including Shoaib Akhtar, Moin Khan, Aaqib Javed, Waqar Younis, and Misbah-ul-Haq lashed out at the team for their sub-par performances in the tournament. Akhtar even used brutal words for Babar Azam and Co for the early blows in the tournament that almost knocked them out of the tournament. Akhtar said that the reason for back-to-back defeats vs India and Zimbabwe is that team management and PCB lacks people who can bring common sense to the table.
Meanwhile, in a recent video doing rounds on the internet, Akhtar is also seen saying that the Rohit Sharma-led Indian team will too be out next from the T20 World Cup. Team India may play the semis but they are also not Tees Maar Khan, so will get knocked out.
"Main pehle bhi keh chuka tha, Pakistan is hafte wapas aa jaegi. Aur agle hafte India wapas aa jaegi. Woh bhi semi-final khel ke wapas aa jaegi. Woh bhi koi itne Tees Maar Khan nahi hai (I had earlier predicted that Pakistan will be out in the first week. Next week India too will be knocked out. They may play the semis but they are also not Tees Maar Khan)," Akhtar was heard saying on his YouTube channel.
Shoaib Akhtar predicts that India will also return home after the semis since they are also not that good (or as he says 'Tees Maar Khan'). pic.twitter.com/zj5BFnjXYI

Team India has had the best campaign so far in the tournament. They beat Pakistan last Sunday in a thriller at MCG and ran over Netherlands on Thursday (October 27) at SCG. They are currently at the top of the points table in Group 2 with only South Africa looking to test them in this group. India has 3 matches remaining, against South Africa, Bangladesh, and Zimbabwe.
