India's have taken a 2-0 lead over New Zealand in the five-match T20I series.

Seeing India's performance, former Pakistan fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar feels India are not just dominating New Zealand but also world cricket.

He also said that the Men in Blue are becoming ruthless as they thrashed the Kiwis in the second match of the T20I series. 

Akhtar also questioned the attitude of the Blackcaps and said that they look like they have given up.

Talking in his YouTube channel, Akhtar said: “India is becoming a ruthless team as they once again proved it against New Zealand in the second T20I. If you (Kiwis) are being bowled out for such a modest total, how will you compete against a side like India which possesses a long batting line-up”.

The bowler praised Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami saying the Indian pacers were now looking to intimidate the batsmen.

“The Indian bowlers bowled short, they terrorised them, even aimed for their head. Never seen this confidence in Shami and Bumrah before. They have an aggressive mindset. They think - out to karna hi hai, ab inko maaro bhi. New Zealand underestimated the Indian pacers, they were committing too soon and hence, the ball took the edge, they even got hit on their head,” Akhtar said.

“Also, Ravindra Jadeja doesn’t let you score runs and bowls some odd spins which and tests the batsmen,” former Pakistan quick added.

Akhtar added that there is no competition for India in world cricket.

“At present India is dominating the world one-sided. But what will happen to other teams? What will happen to world cricket?” he asked.

“When Australia dominated world cricket, at least India and Pakistan showed fight and tried to compete. However, what we are seeing in New Zealand is that the hosts have completely surrendered before India in the first t20 T20Is,” he added.
