In the video, Shoaib Akhtar said, "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 added with a laugh.

The former speedster didn’t stop there, concluding his video with another cheeky remark, "If you really want an entry, talk to me. Because I have a real record—you know which one, right?"
