The former Australian wicketkeeper-batter Adam Gilchrist responded to his viral fake quote on social media attributed to him during the Test series between Pakistan and Australia.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Aussie legend, who worked as a broadcaster for the recently concluded series, was accused of strongly criticizing the green shirts after their whitewash.<\/p>\n

Under the captaincy of Shan Masood, the Pakistan team faced a 3-0 series defeat, they managed to put Australia in a challenging position in the Boxing Day Test. The tour also revealed promising performances from debutants Aamer Jamal and Agha Salman.<\/p>\n

A fake quote by Adam Gilchrist stated: \u201cPakistan is the worst Asian team in Australian conditions. What have they won here in the last 35 years.\u201d<\/p>\n

The statement made the rounds on social media, forcing the former player to speak up against it and clarifying his stance.<\/p>\n

\u201cI never said this. Absolutely fake, made-up quotes. Pakistan were excellent at times this summer, against a World Champion Aust team and very nearly pinched a Test or two,\u201d Gilchrist posted on his social accounts.<\/p>\n

Pakistan\u2019s last Test victory in Australia traces back to 1995, but their recent tour highlighted one of their more commendable performances in the modern era.<\/p>\n

Despite enduring substantial defeats, the Men in Green exhibited competitiveness at different stages.<\/p>\n

This marks a significant improvement compared to their previous tour, where they suffered innings defeats in both matches.<\/p>\n

As Australia prepares for a home series against the West Indies, Pakistan\u2019s next challenge awaits them in a five-match T20I series against New Zealand.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
