Stubbs was seen pulling Shamsi’s leg on social media Tabraiz Shamsi and Virat Kohli (Image Credit- Twitter Virat Kohli hit a straight-forward six off Haris Rauf in a match against Pakistan during the T20 World Cup 2024 in Australia. Kohli’s shot was so spectacular that the International Cricket Council (ICC) declared it the ‘Shot of the Century’. So the commentators doing commentary during Kohli’s shot called it ‘Samrat ka Shot’ and said that this shot will have a different fan base. On the other hand, now the reaction of South African team’s spin bowler Tabrez Shamsi has come out regarding this shot of Kohli. Let us tell you that Shamsi posted a post on his official X account regarding this shot of Kohli. In this post, Shamsi wrote – He had no intention of hitting a six over the bowler’s head. Unreal shot. So now, reacting to this reaction of Shamsi, fellow cricketer and all-rounder Tristan Stubbs was seen pulling his leg. Commenting on this post of Shamsi, Stubbs wrote- Do you practice this shot, I have heard you are an all-rounder? See this funny tweet by Tristan Stubbs Do you practice that shot, I heard you’re an allrounder — Tristan Stubbs (@iTristanstubbs) September 13, 2024 On the other hand, if we give you information about Virat Kohli, then after winning the T20 World Cup 2024, he said goodbye to T20 International cricket. On his retirement from T20, Kohli said- Now it is time for the next generation to take over. It is a two-year cycle, till the next T20 World Cup and India has some amazing players playing. They will take the team forward in the T20 format and do wonders, as we have seen them do in the IPL. I have no doubt that they will keep the Indian flag flying high and take the team forward from here.
T20 World Cup: ‘Shamsi will leak runs against India’, says Robin Uthappa before IND vs SA final match
The final match of the ongoing T20 World Cup will be played between India and South Africa. Robin Uthappa and Tarbaiz Shamsi (Image Credit- Twitter X) Former Indian cricket team wicketkeeper-batsman Robin Uthappa feels that South African spin bowler Tabrez Shamsi is going to leak runs in the big final match against India. It is worth noting that the final match of the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024 will be played today on Saturday, June 29 at Kingston Oval ground in Barbados. However, this statement given by Uthappa before this match regarding the in-form Tabrez Shamsi will definitely weaken his confidence. Let us tell you that Shamsi has taken a total of 11 wickets so far in the ongoing T20 World Cup and there is every possibility that he may not get a chance to play in the final playing eleven on a pitch conducive for batting. Robin Uthappa gave a big statement about Tabrez Shamsi Let us tell you that before the T20 World Cup final match between India and South Africa, while talking on Ravichandran Ashwin’s YouTube channel, Robin Uthappa said – As far as I am concerned, I will be very happy if Tabrez Shamsi plays, especially in Barbados, and if Bartman is playing, then I feel that we have to be a little careful. But out of these two, I would prefer Shamsi to play because I know he is going to give runs. Even if he takes wickets, it doesn’t matter to me. If we score 40-50 runs against him, then our job is done. Because with India’s batting approach, even if he takes wickets, it is not a big deal. On the other hand, if we talk about Shamsi, he has impressed with his performance so far. In South Africa’s Super 8 match, he bowled brilliantly against West Indies, taking 3 wickets for 27 runs and was also POTM. In Afghanistan’s semi-final match, he took 3 wickets giving away just 6 runs. It will be interesting to see how he will perform against India in the final match.
“We have faced pressure in every match but…”- said Tabrez Shamsi after the win against Nepal
Tabrez Shamsi took 4 wickets for 19 runs in 4 overs against Nepal Tabraiz Shamsi (Photo Source: Getty Images) T20 World Cup 2024: South Africa registered a thrilling 1 run win against Nepal in the last match. The team batted first and scored 115 runs for the loss of 7 wickets. Nepal needed 2 runs on the last ball to win, if the team had managed to take even one run, a super over would have been played. But Gulshan Jha got run out and the team had to face defeat. This defeat will hurt the Nepal team for many years. A major reason for Nepal’s defeat is the four overs bowled by South African spinner Tabrez Shamsi, in which he took four big wickets. If these wickets had not fallen, Nepal would have easily chased the run chase. Tabrez Shamsi has also won the Player of the Match title for his brilliant performance in the match. After this victory against Nepal, Tabrez Shamsi has given a big statement about the team’s performance. Tabrez Shamsi said this after victory against Nepal After winning the match on the last ball against Nepal, Tabrez Shamsi said that the team has faced pressure in every single game. But the team has been successful in facing it. Talking to reporters, Tabrez Shamsi said, ‘It was a close game, all our totals were being tested, we were put under pressure in every single game and we managed to cope. This is a great thing to end the tournament on. Spin bowlers get help on the tracks of West Indies, which was seen today in the bowling of Tabrez Shamsi. Shamsi believes that the fast bowlers performed brilliantly in New York, but now the spinners need to fulfill their responsibility. Talking further, Shamsi said, ‘Our fast bowlers performed brilliantly in New York but our slower bowlers will have to take the responsibility now. After the win against Nepal, South Africa has topped the Group-D points table with four wins and 8 points from four matches. The team will play its first match in the Super-8 round on June 21. Like the group stage, the team will want to show a great game in this round as well.
