'Embarrassed': Akram on Bakht's bizarre 'coin toss' technique of Rohit

Team India marched their way into the final of the Cricket World Cup on Sunday, thrashing New Zealand by 70 runs in the first sem-final at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer smashed centuries to lay a strong foundation for India as the hosts posted 397/4 after opting to bat.

Mohammed Shami then bagged seven wickets as New Zealand were bowled out for 327, despite Daryl Mitchell's impressive 134 and Kane Williamson's 64. As the cricket world praised the Indian team, former Pakistan cricketer Sikandar Bakht sparked a controversy with his bizarre claim about the coin toss.

During an appearance on Geo News, Bakht claimed that India captain Rohit Sharma was deliberately throwing the coin far to win the toss.
