Former Pakistani all-rounder Abdul Razzaq, who recently stirred controversy with a derogatory statement about Indian actress Aishwarya Rai, is once again facing backlash from Indian cricket fans.
This time, it's due to his comments about India's defeat in the World Cup 2023. During an episode of 'Hasna Mana Hay,' hosted by Tabish Hashmi, Razzaq stated that "cricket won and India lost" when asked about Australia's victory.
He further expressed that cricket remains with the brave and those who give a performance.
Despite facing criticism, Razzaq stood by his remarks, emphasizing that the conditions favoured Australia, and he had never seen such a bad pitch for any ICC final.
He believed that India's loss was great for cricket, as it showcased the importance of bravery, performance, and effort.
India had an unbeaten streak in the World Cup 2023, winning all 10 matches before the final. However, Australia emerged victorious in the final, claiming the trophy after a strategic performance.
