Shoaib Akhtar mixes-up Abhishek Sharma with actor, Abhishek Baachchan
Ahead of the India-Pakistan Asia Cup final, during a recent live broadcast of the cricket show, Game On Hai, former Pakistani player, Shoaib Akhtar was analysing Pakistan’s chances against India in the match. While talking about the same, the player mistakenly mentioned actor, Abhishek Bachchan instead of young opener, Abhishek Sharma. He was quoted as saying:
