Team India, with their dream run at the World Cup 2023, have become the first team to qualify for the semifinals. If something has been consistent for the Indian team in these matches, it is their superb fast bowling. 

Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj, and Jasprit Bumrah, all have been exceptional throughout the the seven games. The trio picked nine out of the ten wickets of the Sri Lankan team and rattled their batting line-up bowling them out on just 55 runs. 

While the former cricketers are praising the trio, there's one former cricketer from Pakistan, Hasan Raza, who has alleged India of foul play in this World Cup. He even said that there's something in the ball which is specialised for the Indian team, thus helping them gain much more swing than others. 

To his allegations, the former cricketer, Wasim Akram also made fun of his statement saying I want to have what they are having. And also said that these guys are not just insulting themselves but insulting us as well. 


Who is Hasan Raza?

Hasan Raza is one of the former cricketers of Pakistan, who made his Test debut at the age of just 14. Although a few of the players reckon that his age was fake at that time, he was around 15 when he made his debut at the international level. 

Despite making his international debut at the age of 14, he could only play seven Tests and 16 ODIs. In ten innings of Test cricket, he managed to score 235 runs including two half-centuries. However, in 13 ODI innings, he smashed 242 runs including one half-century.

He was a great timer of a ball and performed admirably, but one of two bad games replaced him until he made his return against Australia at Sharjah, scoring 51 and 68, but the strike rate was too low and was replaced again.

He also led the Pakistan A team to the victory in EurAsia Cup Abu Dhabi 2006. Later by joining the unsanctioned Indian Cricket League and the team Mumbai Champs, he risked his chances of making a comeback to the national team. He has been always in controversies and now with the foul play allegations on the Indian team , he is gaining the attention.
