However, former Indian opener, Aakash Chopra has found a hilarious way of trolling the Pakistan minster by acknowledging that he has never seen the man playing cricket. Chopra tweeted, “Don’t take him seriously. He says that it’s the first #IndvPak game that he couldn’t play on the field. I know a lot of Pakistan cricketers…never seen this one with bat-ball in hand”.
