Shoaib Akhtar Mocks Virender Sehwag’s '300' Rant In Viral Video: 'Same Tape Playing For 20 Years' | WATCH

A social media spat appears to have flared up between two former cricket stars from India and Pakistan, with Shoaib Akhtar posting videos on Instagram to caution Virender Sehwag about his persistent boasting.

Sehwag, the first Indian cricketer to notch up a triple century in Test cricket, seems to have irritated Akhtar with his repeated mentions of this celebrated achievement in the longer format.

In one video, Akhtar warned Sehwag to stop harping on about it, saying he's "fed up" of hearing the same old story.

The row kicked off when Sehwag appeared in an advert alongside actresses Mandira Bedi and Sahiba Bali. In an Instagram post, the former Indian opener wrote: "Ek triple centurion ke handle se @fwd ka ad post ho raha hai."

Shoaib Akhtar, however, wasn't impressed. In his own Instagram post, the ex-Pakistan fast bowler responded: "@fwd vaalo kisi stylish bande ko lena next ad mein (mere DM open hain). Hahaha."

"I saw a video of Viru Paaji. Man, I'm fed up of hearing him talk. It's the same tape playing for the last 20 years-'300, 300, 300'. 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. 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!'," Akhtar elaborated in the video.

"If you really want an entry, talk to me. Because I have a real record-you know which one, right?," Akhtar added, wrapping up the clip.

Interestingly, Sehwag's historic triple hundred came against Pakistan during India's 2004 tour of the country, in Multan. He reached the milestone with a six off Pakistani spinner Saqlain Mushtaq, while Shoaib Akhtar was also part of that bowling attack.
