Former Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar revealed how he would exploit Virat Kohli's weakness if he bowled to him.
Gavaskar, in conversation with former Pakistan cricketer Ramiz Raja on his Youtube channel, expressed that there are more chances of snowfall in Lahore than a bilateral series between the arch-rivals amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Earlier last week, Kapil Dev had criticised Akhtar's proposal saying that "India doesn't need the money" while also pointing out the risk that players would put themselves in.
Shoaib's suggestion had earlier been put down by former Indian captain Kapil Dev, who said that India didn't need the money and the focus now should be on staying healthy.
Shoaib Akhtar said he hopes the 38-year-old Dhoni gets a resounding farewell despite his resolute silence on what the future holds.
Former England all-rounder Andrew Flintoff recalled a funny incident with Shoaib Akhtar during a 2005 Test.
Owing to the concerns over the rapid spread of the virus, all sporting events have been cancelled across the globe. Yet, Akhtar proposed the idea of an India versus Pakistan game to raise money for the fight against the virus.
Akhtar said India and Pakistan can play either a three-match ODI or a T20I series behind closed doors which can raise millions of dollars of funds to help both the countries in such a desperate time.
Kapil Dev has said that organising cricket matches in such a situation would put players under big risk.
The two nations have not played a full-series since 2007 due to the terrorist attacks on India by Pakistan-based outfits and the resultant diplomatic tension. They only play each other in ICC events and Asia Cup.
After watching the highlights of that tie on Star Sports, Mohammad Kaif's son Kabir reckoned that hitting Akhtar doesn't seem quite difficult and in fact opined that the pace of the bowler helps the batsman drift the ball down to the ropes.
According to a latest United Nations trade report, the world economy will go into recession this year with a predicted loss of trillions of dollars of global income due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Close to 900 confirmed cases of coronavirus have been reported so far in Pakistan and six people have already lost their lives because of COVID-19.
In a video posted on his YouTube channel, Akhtar also requested to work as a "global force" and adhere to the guidelines issued by the authorities.
Bob Woolmer's mysterious death during the 2007 World Cup sent shock waves across the cricketing world.
Moments after he posted the controversial tweet, fans began criticising him with many even warning him that he would lose Indian fans from his tally of Youtube subscribers.
Akhtar believes Indian citizens don't want any animosity or any type of war with Pakistan and it's the Indian media which shows that a war will take place between the two Asian neighbours "tomorrow".
Former Pakistan cricketers Wasim Akram and Shoaib Akhtar engaged in a friendly banter on their Twitter profiles.
Babar Azam is the T20I captain of Pakistan and has been one of their most consistent performers across all formats.
