Pakistani all-rounder Aamer Jamal has strongly criticised former Australian cricketer Brad Hogg after a video surfaced online in which Brad Hogg appeared to mock Mohammad Rizwan for his English-speaking style. The clip quickly went viral, igniting a wave of outrage across social media platforms.
Aamer Jamal expressed his disapproval, stating that Brad Hogg was seeking attention and more followers by ridiculing Rizwan. In a tweet posted on Tuesday evening, Aamer Jamal said, “I just watch a video which is circulating on twitter and others social media It is very shameful act from @Brad_Hogg who called himself a international cricketer making fun of a @iMRizwanPak about his English which is his 3rd language not even 2nd I would rather suggest you to become #TikToker because you might need followers and attention by making fun of other people thats the platform for you not cricket community”.

The viral video features Brad Hogg interviewing an individual who appears to be a content creator. During the conversation, Brad Hogg asks the impersonator for his thoughts on Indian batting star Virat Kohli. The impersonator responds by humorously comparing himself to Virat Kohli, saying, “I and Virat are alike. He drinks water. I drink water. He eats food. I eat food. We are both the same; there is no difference.”
The content creator also referenced Mohammad Rizwan’s widely recognised phrase, “Ya to win hai ya learn hai,” which has been used to describe Pakistan’s cricketing mindset. Over time, the phrase has gained popularity and has often been turned into memes.
Meanwhile, Mohammad Rizwan has joined Babar Azam and Naseem Shah in skipping the ongoing National T20 Championship in Faisalabad. Instead, he was seen playing a club cricket match in Peshawar on Sunday, March 16. His no-look shots during the game were widely shared across social media.
Mohammad Rizwan has faced considerable criticism following Pakistan’s failure to reach the semi-finals of the Champions Trophy. The team’s disappointing campaign included losses to New Zealand at home and to India in familiar conditions in Dubai, leading to scrutiny over their performances on the international stage.
