Former Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar took a jab at Indian batter Virender Sehwag for consistently bringing up his triple-century against Pakistan in 2004.
The feud began when Sehwag shared a video clip of a commercial on Instagram and referenced his triple century in the post caption.
In the Instagram post, the former India opener wrote: “Ek triple centurion ke handle se @fwd ka ad post ho raha hai.”

Responding to the post, Akhtar jokingly offered to help Sehwag get an entry in the Guinness World Records for saying “300” the most times in the world.
Sehwag’s iconic 309-run knock against Pakistan in the first Test of the 2004 series in Multan has been a topic of discussion for years. However, Akhtar’s comments suggest that he is tired of hearing Sehwag brag about the achievement.

“I saw a video of Viru Paaji. Man, I am fed up of hearing him talk. It is the same tape he has been playing for the last 20 years – ‘300, 300, 300’, said Akhtar in an Instagram video.
“Come on, brother, I was there too when you scored that 300. You played really well, no doubt. But it is the month of fasting, and one has to control their tongue – so please, stop now, ” he stated.
The pacer stated that if Sehwag wishes to register his name with Guinness World Records, he can do so.
“If you want an entry in the Guinness World Records, I can get that done. The person who says 300 the most in the world – Virender Sehwag!”, he concluded.
