IPL 2023: ‘Living in Pakistan is like living in jail,’ IPL commentator Simon Doull REVEALS ordeal in Pakistan after criticising Babar Azam, Check OUT
“Living in Pakistan is like living in jail. I was not allowed to go out as Babar Azam fans were waiting for me. And I stayed in Pakistan without food for many days. Even I was mentally tortured, but by the grace of God, I somehow escaped from Pakistan,” revealed Simon Doull, as quoted by Geo News.
“Rather than putting the team first… the last little while, that’s all that been happening. Rather than looking for boundaries, still, so much firepower to come. Hundreds are brilliant, stats are great, but it has to be team first,” Doull said on Babar during PSL 2023.
Meanwhile, Doull also slammed former RCB Virat Kohli for deploying a similar approach during his team’s last league match against LSG. “Virat Kohli started off like a train. He was hammering shots. But from 42 to 40 he took 10 balls. He’s concerned about his personal milestone. I don’t think there’s room for that in this game anymore. You’ve just got to keep going, especially with wickets in hand at that stage. You’ve got to keep going,” Doull said recently while commentating during RCB vs LSG match in IPL 2023.
