Shoaib Akhtar was shocked on the criticism on Pakistani captain Sarfraz Ahmed. He requested all to support Pakistani team because at this stage they need our support and not our criticism.
He further prayed and hoped that Pakistan will win the ICC Champions Trophy and said that even after winning the trophy we will remain humble. This was in response to Indian celebrities who made comments against Pakistani team and nation.
