Indian team has been heavily criticized by former cricketers and fans after New Zealand beat India by 8 wickets and 33 balls on Sunday before India was bowled out for 10 by Pakistan.

The match against New Zealand was crucial for India to qualify for the semi-finals of the T-20 World cup. But India lost by 8 wickets. Both the batting and bowling of the Indian team seemed to flop.

Former Pakistan bowler Shoaib Akhtar has expressed his displeasure. In this, Akhtar has strongly criticized the team. Should Indian players first consider whether they want to play cricket on Instagram or on the field? he said.

Along with Shoaib Akhtar, Shahid Afridi also targeted the Indian team. Now a miracle can take the Indian team to the semi-finals, Shahid Afridi said in a tweet.

What exactly did Shoaib Akhtar say?

"I was already saying that it could be very difficult for India if New Zealand won the toss. Still, India played very badly. I never once felt that Team India was right in the match. They were seen playing under a lot of pressure.

'It is not clear how the Indian team is playing. You lost the toss so you didn't end your life. I think it was only after the toss that Team India took the plunge. Batting order changed, bad shot selection, Shamila bowling too late, he added.

"Looking at the current form of the Indian team, I am wondering what will happen to India against Afghanistan. Indian players now have to think about whether they want to play cricket on Instagram or on the field ', said Shoaib Akhtar to the Indian team.

I don't think the Indian team has come to play in the World Cup. What was the motive behind sending Ishan Kishan to bat instead of Rohit Sharma? Shoaib Akhtar has also said that Hardik Pandya should have bowled a little earlier.
