Ex-PAK Player: Surya's 'Slap' with Rinku, Tilak Bowling Insulted Pakistan

  • Former Pakistani cricketer Basit Ali reacted to Suryakumar Yadav's decision to bowl part-timers Rinku Singh and Tilak Varma against Pakistan.
  • Ali stated, "Surya ne jo sabse jor se tamacha mara hai na, jab usne Rinku aur Tilak Varma ko bowling karayi hai" (Surya has slapped hard by bowling Tilak Varma and Rinku Singh).
  • He viewed this move as an insult to the stature of Pakistan's national team, highlighting "the value of Pakistan’s cricket."
  • Tilak Varma took a wicket on his very first ball, dismissing Shadab Khan, while Rinku Singh also bowled an over.
  • The decision came after India's premier bowlers had already dominated, leaving Pakistan at 78 for 6 wickets.
