The India-Pakistan match has left the cricket world buzzing, with India emerging victorious by 6 wickets. As the Indian team gears up for the semi-finals, Pakistan’s chances of advancing seem slim. In a recent conversation, former Indian cricketer Akash Chopra posed some interesting questions to former Pakistani cricketer Wahab Riaz, sparking a debate about the best players in the cricketing world.
## Your king or our king…
Akash Chopra’s first question was about who makes a better captain, Rohit Sharma or Mohammad Rizwan. Wahab Riaz’s response, choosing Rizwan, left Akash taken aback. Akash’s witty remark, “Our King or your King,” was met with an equally surprising response from Riyaz, who said, “King is the king of his own right. Virat Kohli is the king of India, while Babur is the king of Pakistan.” This exchange set the tone for a discussion that would pit Indian and Pakistani players against each other.
## Wahab Riyaz is biased
When it comes to all-rounders in white ball cricket, Hardik Pandya is currently one of the best in the world. Pakistan’s Faheem Ashraf is often compared to him. However, when Akash Chopra asked Wahab Riaz to choose between the two, Riyaz surprisingly picked Faheem as the better player. This response led Akash to comment that Wahab Riaz is biased towards Pakistani players. Similarly, when comparing Shubman Gill and Imam ul Haq, Riyaz chose Imam based on their ODI centuries, despite Gill’s impressive performance. Riyaz also ignored Kuldeep Yadav’s skills, opting for Abrar Ahmed as the better player.
## 7 questions and answers to Wahab Riyaz
Here are the 7 questions Akash Chopra posed to Wahab Riaz, along with his responses:
* Rohit Sharma or Mohammad Rizwan: Rizwan
* Virat Kohli or Babar Azam: Babar Azam
* Hardik Pandya or Faheem Ashraf: Ashraf
* Shubman Gill or Imam ul Haq: Imam ul Haq
* Kuldeep Yadav or Abrar Ahmed: Ahmed
* Mohammed Shami or Nasim Shah: Nasim Shah
* Shaheen Afridi or Harshit Rana: Shaheen Afridi
It’s clear that Wahab Riaz has his own opinions about the best players in the cricketing world, and they often favor Pakistani players. However, this debate is all in good spirit, and it’s interesting to see how different experts and fans weigh in on these questions.
