'Fruit ki dukaan pe khade hai' - Danish Kaneria takes a dig at Pakistan's jersey for T20 World Cup

Former Pakistan cricketer Danish Kaneria was left disappointed after Pakistan's six-wicket defeat against England on Tuesday. England put on an impressive display to earn a well-deserved win in the first T20I match in Karachi. India also lost their opening T20I match against Australia on the same day as the visitors chased down a record 209-run target with four wickets and four balls remaining.

Sri Lanka came victorious ahead of the title favorites India and Pakistan in the recently concluded 2022 Asia Cup. Kaneria stated that fans were expecting a positive performance from both India and Pakistan after their poor performances in the Asia Cup. But after the recent defeats, he said that it wasn't expected from both Asian giants and that they need to gear up quickly ahead of the upcoming 2022 T20 World Cup.

"We are on the road to the World Cup. The kind of performance that we were expecting from the two teams, India and Pakistan, after the Asia Cup is nowhere to be seen. One lost to England and the other lost to Australia. What are the two Asian powerhouses up to? Time is very short and you need to gear up," Danish Kaneria said on his YouTube channel.

Danish Kaneria takes a dig at India and Pakistan's new jersey

Both India and Pakistan unveiled the new kits ahead of the upcoming T20 World Cup in the past few days. The Indian fans were not impressed with the new 'har fan ki jersey' light-blue color jersey. Pakistan's kit also failed to impress fans and Kaneria as well. He compared India's jersey color to their bowling performance against Australia and Pakistan's kit to a 'fruit ninja' game.

"First, I have to talk about the kit of Pakistan. It seems like watermelon...there is a game called 'fruit ninja', there you cut fruits...it seems they have mixed muskmelon and watermelon and made the shirts. It should be proper green, dark green. Aisa matlab ki fruit ki dukaan pe khade hai (It seems we are standing in a fruit shop). The Indian team's jersey is also light colour, it should be dark coloured. It brings a vibe. In dull colours, you look dull. Like how dull Indian team looked in their bowling," Kaneria added.
