NEW DELHI: A conspiracy theory has been going around for the last few days, especially in Pakistan, that Indian pacers are extremely successful in the ongoing ODI World Cup because they are getting a different set of balls from the ICC. Former Pakistan cricketer Hasan Raza on Friday poured fuel to the conspiracy with a controversial remark on Pakistan TV.
"We are seeing that when they are batting, they bat really well and suddenly the ball starts doing things when India bowl. There have been 7-8 close DRS calls that have gone in their favour. The way Siraj and Shami were swinging the ball, it seemed like the ICC or the BCCI were giving them different and suspicious balls in the second innings. There needs to be an inspection done on the ball. There could also be an extra layer of coating on the ball for swing," Raza had said while speaking to a channel called ABN.
