If there’s one thing cricket fans love, it’s a bit of banter between former players. And when it involves Shoaib Akhtar and Virender Sehwag, you know it’s going to be entertaining!
The latest round of friendly fire started when Sehwag, once again, brought up his famous 309-run knock against Pakistan in 2004. He shared a video on Instagram, subtly reminding everyone of his historic feat. But it seems Shoaib Akhtar has had enough of hearing about it.
Akhtar’s Hilarious Response
Taking to Instagram, the Rawalpindi Express fired back in classic Shoaib style.
“Man, I am fed up of hearing him talk. It is the same tape he has been playing for the last 20 years – ‘300, 300, 300’,” Akhtar said, clearly exasperated.

He didn’t stop there. With a cheeky grin, he added:
“Come on, brother, I was there too when you scored that 300. You played really well, no doubt. But it’s the month of fasting, and one has to control their tongue – so please, stop now.”
And then came the knockout punch: “If you want an entry in the Guinness World Records, I can get that done: ‘The person who says 300 the most in the world – Virender Sehwag!’”
The Knock That Won’t Be Forgotten
For those who don’t remember, Sehwag’s 309 in Multan 2004 was a historic moment. He became the first Indian batter to score a triple century in Test cricket, tearing apart Pakistan’s bowling attack in the process.

His blistering knock, alongside Sachin Tendulkar’s unbeaten 194, powered India to a mammoth 675/5 declared in the first innings. Pakistan couldn’t recover, folding for 407 and 216 in their two innings, handing India an innings-and-52-run victory.
But 20 Years Later… Is It Time to Move On?
Sehwag’s knock was legendary, no doubt. But Shoaib Akhtar’s frustration echoes what many fans have been thinking. How many times can you remind people of the same innings before it starts sounding like a broken record?
Of course, knowing Sehwag, he’ll have a witty comeback soon. And let’s be honest—cricket is more fun when these two keep the banter alive!
Now, the question is: Will Sehwag finally stop talking about 300, or will he double down? Let’s wait and see!
