Right after Pakistan lost the match to India last Sunday, a video of Pakistani cricketers Shoaib Malik, Wahab Riaz, and Imam-ul-Haq went viral chilling out at a lounge. The video was shot hours before the match commenced and Indian Tennis star Sania Mirza was also seen in it.
Now Pakistani fans are very angry with the whole team and especially the ones who were having fun and enjoying shisha at the lounge. Pakistan lost the match by 89 runs and their bowling and fielding were equally bad.
The fans are making fun of Shoaib who was enjoying with his wife before the match and scored zero runs during the match. They are slamming and criticizing Malik and others for their irresponsible behavior.
Some fans claimed that they saw Shoaib smoking shisha at 2 AM on Winslow Road in Manchester, while other players were eating junk food.
After a lot of slamming and trolling, Malik has finally replied to his fans. In a tweet, he has requested people to keep his family aside from the “petty discussions”. He wrote, “On behalf of all athletes I would like to request media and people to maintain respect levels in regards to our families, who should not be dragged into petty discussions at will. It’s not a nice thing to do.”
