Former Pakistan fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar responded to Sunil Gavaskar after the former India skipper had said that the chances of a snowfall in Lahore was more than seeing a bilateral series between India and Pakistan.
Akhtar pointed out in a tweet that there was indeed snowfall in Lahore last year.
"Well Sunny bhai, we did have a snowfall in Lahore last year.. So nothing is impossible," said Shoaib in his tweet which included an image of Gavaskar with his quote and an image of snow in Lahore.
Akhtar was the first player to suggest that India and Pakistan should play a bilateral series to raise funds in the fight against coronavirus for both countries.
Gavaskar, however, said in a YouTube chat with former Pakistan captain Ramiz Raja that any possibility of such a series happening is next to nothing.
"There are more chances of snowfall in Lahore than bilateral series between India and Pakistan," Gavaskar told former Pakistan captain Ramiz Raja.
"Both teams will keep on meeting in World Cups and ICC tournaments, but a series between them seems unlikely right now."
