LONDON: England superstar Ben Stokes has tacitly alleged that the Indian team conspired to throw Pakistan out of World Cup 2019 by making no effort to win a match against England, which would have boosted their arch-rivals' chance to stay alive in the tournament.
The equation was such that a win for India over England would have helped Pakistan qualify for the semi-finals. But much to the dismay of Pakistan fans, Indian batsmen, especially MS Dhoni, appeared unusually lethargic in the run chase, eventually losing the match and dealing a fatal blow to Sarfaraz Ahmed and co's semi-final hopes, reported Geo TV on Thursday. While Dhoni and teammates' approach had raised a few eyebrows at the time, it had largely been forgotten until Stokes reopened the chapter in his bookOn Fire.
