Shoaib Akhtar, as soon as the bete noire of Indian cricket on and off the sphere, has praised Ajinkya Rahane’s squad for its beautiful victory in Melbourne, saying India confirmed incomparable character and dedication.
After hitting the nadir with 36 all out in Adelaide, the Indian crew bounced again magnificently to stage the sequence, beating Australia by eight wickets within the second Test in Melbourne.
“India has basically stuffed Australia in a sack and thrashed them. Characters are not made in crisis, they are exhibited. Team India has exhibited their talent and character in deep crisis. They have shown big heart,” Akhtar stated on his YouTube channel.
What impressed Akhtar essentially the most was how Rahane went about his job with minimal fuss regardless of the absence of Virat Kohli, Mohammed Shami and Rohit Sharma.
“Ajinkya led the team quietly. He made those bowling changes without trying to grab attention and now it’s the success which is making the right noises. There’s a saying that if you work hard quietly, your success is bound to make noises,” the ‘Rawalpindi Express’ stated.

Akhtar then cited how debutants Mohammed Siraj and Shubman Gill delivered underneath strain. “Siraj lost his father, who wanted to see his son play for India. It was unfortunate. He must have been angry but he vented his anger on Australia and paid a fitting tribute to his father.”
“When you saw Gill, you felt he is one of the outstanding batsmen that we are going to see in future. Ravindra Jadeja came in and contributed in all departments.”
Akhtar was very impressed by India’s capability to bounce again after being actually punched within the intestine as not many groups can pull off one thing like this.
“Team India has proven their guts and the drive and starvation to succeed. Their purpose was to maneuver forward. Normally, when you have been knocked over, it is troublesome to stand up however that is the pleasing facet of this crew. They received up.
“Whether you are Christian, Sikh, Buddhist, if a nation can show its character in adversity, you are bound to appreciate that,” the previous speedster stated.
