After the hosts destroyed Sri Lanka’s batting attack in the ODI World Cup 2023, former Pakistani cricketer Hasan Raza gained notoriety by calling for an inquiry into the balls that the Indian players receive throughout their matches.
Hasan Raza said on a Pakistani TV channel that an investigation should be conducted into how the umpires or the ICC are supplying Team India with the balls. When the Men in Blue defeated Sri Lanka by a lopsided 302 runs, the full conversation became public.
“Bowlers like Shami and Siraj look like when we used to play Allan Donald and Makhaya Ntini in South Africa. We are not able to understand batsmen playing against other teams.” The ball used to seam and swing there, and there was a sheen on one side of it, but in the second inning, I believe even the ball is changing. The manner in which the ICC, or perhaps the third umpire or BCCI, is distributing these balls…These balls ought to be examined, in my opinion,” Raza stated.
Former Indian cricket player Aakash Chopra posted the comment on Twitter and expressed his shock.
Hasan Raza posed the inquiry on social media after Aakash Chopra posted a question on whether or not it was a legitimate cricket match.
Is this a real cricket match? If not, kindly use English to refer to “satire” or “comedy” somewhere. Aakash Chopra tweeted, “I mean, it might be written in Urdu already, but I can’t read/understand it.”
Is it a serious cricket show? If not, please mention ‘satire’ ‘comedy’ in English somewhere. I mean…it might be written in Urdu already but unfortunately, I can’t read/understand it.

India keeps winning after putting on outstanding efforts.
On Thursday, November 2, the Indian squad played Sri Lanka at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The Men in Blue amassed 357 runs in the first inning before both teams squared off in the 33rd match of the ODI World Cup 2023. Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, and Shreyas Iyer all hit outstanding strokes, and the bowlers did a commendable job of holding the score down.
With five wickets from Mohammed Shami, three from Mohammed Siraj, and a wicket apiece from Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja, India defeated Sri Lanka by a commanding score of 302 runs.
