The post garnered interesting reactions from cricket fans across the globe, specifically from India and Pakistan, who will face each other in upcoming T20 World Cup.
The post also earned attention of Ashwin, who responding to a user’s query, admitted to Miandad’s potential dominance in such a contest.
“Totally agree with your view. An outstanding player but the only change he may have to make is for DRS (which is huge ) nevertheless I think he will win the battle,” Ashwin replied.
