Former India cricketer Sreesanth has taken a massive jibe at ex-Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar.

Sreesanth, who was a fiery character on the field, has gone no holds barred as he took apart Shoaib Akhtar in one of his social media interviews.

On the eve of the India-Pakistan clash in the ICC World Cup 2023, Shoaib Akhtar took a cheeky dig at Sachin Tendulkar. He told the Indian legend to remain calm while posting a picture of him dismissing the batter in one of the yesteryear matches.

After India demolished Pakistan in Ahmedabad, Sachin Tendulkar also came back with a cheeky response and said that he followed the advice of Shoaib Akhtar and kept everything very calm.

And the artillery from India hasn't stopped yet, as Srishanthukun matters in his own hands and said, Akhtar was often treated as a spinner by the former India batter.

Sreesanth gleefully said that if Akhtar takes on Sachin Tendulkar, he won't spare the former Pakistan speedster.

"Shoaib Bhai why you always write like this where we can give back easily. He has dismissed Sachin Paaji once here and there. But there have been times when Sachin Paaji has played Shoaib Akhtar like a spinner. I am your big fan, but if you take a dig at Sachin Paaji, we won't spare you (smiles)," Sreesanth said in an interview.

The Pakistani pacer is yet to reply on Sreesanth's comments and we can hope something will come up soon from the other side of the border.
