"Ye tera super hit hai interview....Maze kar". I lost it when he said that 🤣

[princejohnson]

58 mins of worth watching. Shoaib Akhtar was right this podcast is a hit . Cheers from India.

[rqr]

What a man!!! He completely took over your podcast and had more vision, energy and presence as compared to the hosts

[GeniusCricketShorts]

Shoaib Akhtar - underrated intellectual person.
Made my day. Just WoW. I'm gonna save this show with me for life.

[mirzasohailali]

Atleast Shoaib Akhtar has the power to run the show. Most other Pakistani cricketers are not even close to his intellectual level. And he is 100% correct regarding the corruption of the PCB.

[imranmirza]

He 100% right... cricket has been destroyed by incapable ICC by introducing batsman favoring laws. Once there were matches with 250 runs to defend and fans didn't even blink or miss a ball due to fight between bat n ball but nowadays even 400 runs doesn't seem interesting.

[istriver.]

When you invite Shoaib to your show, you're the guest

[prabhjobhullar]

Sahi gal hay shoib akhtar da dabdbaa bhot si may 87 born hu halkaa halkaa yaad 1999 world cup me agg lgaa diti si sohib akhtar ne yaar ajj vi fan hay asi from punjab indiaa

[hassansheikh]

Shoaib Akhtar should become Chairman of PCB. He has the solid guts to run Pakistan cricket and to produce brand cricket which are we lacking.

[HassanQazi]

Unfortunately, he's absolutely spot on.

[nikhilbhosale]

29:08 👌👌👌👍👍👍🙌🙌🙌 absolutely true !!! Thank u Shoaib Bhai for fearlessly purring the REAL TRUTH in front of the world !!! Lots of love & respect !!!

[subhajitghatak]

This man was always fact the most confident cricketer of all time....

[ZainAli-phzy]

[zohaibquaiyumi]

Raw and Unfiltered words by fastest bowler of the world....made this man mentor of PCB like Ajay Jadeja of Afghanistan board...he will definitely bring strong changes ...love frm🇮🇳

[atokimruk]

Definately pompous. And that is different from pride of achievements. Also stuck in old times, times have changed.

[shyamslash]

I remember Shoaib silencing eden Gardens with that spell and breaking my heart.. Even as an Indian that Pakistani attack that came in ‘99 was easily secretly my all time favourite to watch.. Amazing podcast episode though as a South Indian struggled a bit with Shoaibs Punjabi haha!

[srinivasjayaprakash]

The reality is that India has marched ahead of Pakistan. India is competing with China. Economically we indians are looking to compete with China and USA.

Pakistanis must first compete with India and ensure they move ahead rather than pitting China against India or cheering failures of India.

If economy improves, the rest would take care of itself!

[mindmagicindia]

Fantastic podcast, Shoaib Akhtar is a true legend! Take bow sir🙌

Shoaib is undoubtedly the most feared and fastest bowler we have seen play the game of cricket. Respect for the way you made it to the top and inspired a whole generation. Love and respect from India 🇮🇳💙

[atultripathi]

This guy literally made for podcasts...❤

[AnshuljainSanmati]
