    "editor1": "<p><strong>Lahore, April 18: <\/strong>Former Pakistan speedster Shoaib Akhtar has been very active on social media ever since the coronavirus outbreak brought the world to a standstill and while Indian fans remember how Sachin Tendulkar cut him for a six in the 2003 World Cup encounter, the pacer has said he doesnt mind if that makes the fans happy.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I had a good time bowling to Sachin Tendulkar. He is one of the greatest batsmen of all-time. But I dismissed him 12-13 times as well. Although, Indians only remember that one six which he hit me in Centurion (during the 2003 ICC World Cup) as it makes them really happy. If I had known that one six makes 1.3 billion people happy, then I would have let him hit me for a six every day,&quot; he said in an Instagram video.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Akhtar earlier said that while the bowlers across the world find it extremely difficult to dismiss India skipper Virat Kohli, he had the arsenal to send the batsman packing.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Speaking in an Instagram Live video, Akhtar revealed how he would get rid of Kohli, if he was to bowl to him. &quot;If I was bowling, I would go wider of the crease and pitch the ball up (to Kohli) and shape it away from him in order to make him drive. If that does not work, I will bowl him at 150 (kph) and he will get out,&quot; he explained.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Akhtar&#39;s proposal to have an India-Pakistan series to collect funds to fight the pandemic was strongly opposed to by quite a few former India cricketers who feel that now is not the time to speak about cricket.<\/p>\r\n",
