Shoaib Akhtar spoke of 'hypothetical situation' of Pakistan getting Abhishek Sharma out early, which could put India's middle-order under pressure.

Unka middle-order toh perform nahi kiya," (Their middle-order hasnโ€™t performed), he said on the talk show. Shoaib Akhtar was quickly corrected by his co-panellists and he realised that he made the slip-up.
