Former fast bowler Shoaib Akthar has caused a stir as a video of him mocking the Pakistani cricket team has gone viral.

Akhtar appeared with Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh on a comedy show in India called 'Comedy Nights with Kapil.' The show is popular in both India and Pakistan.

Among other things, Shoaib joked about Pakistani cricket team captains being old, saying: "If we add up Misbah's, Younis's and Afridi's ages this team will itself be 150 years old."

While Akhtar's jokes may have been lighthearted and expressly for the purposes of the comedy show, this combined with his recent criticism of the Pak team's performance has many questioning his loyalty.

Fans and celebrities didn't find his humour funny, and they took to Twitter to say exactly that:

Some wonder if this is the same man who played for the Pakistan team once:

Meanwhile, on Pakistani TV, Umer Sharif expressed his disappointment in the former fast bowler, saying he had lost his place in the nation after his remarks.

He is also lost place from my books as well, we all know what Shoaib did in his last WC but that does not matter you can't mock your team and insult them atleast on TV.

Feeding dollars in alcohol by young indian beauties may have such consequences easily.

 

[utraash]

Not a good gesture....

 

[deckingraj]

on a serious note plz counter his points....is the objection here on the content/matter or because he said so on an India TV?? IMHO lot of things that he said are real issues that Pakistan team is facing....

 

[sherin616]

You say india obsessed with pakistan
And indians cry baby

1)pakistanis actinging in Bollywood

a)ooooh alll indians girls and boys are going for them oooh they are so beautiful because they are muslims and Pakistanis
b) indian programmes are bad
etc
2)when some pakistani beloved players like akther and others working as commentators and coaches come to india
a)they betrayed us they where not that goood etc



When will pakistanis know india was and will be super power not in money wise (may be money wise too)
But intellectually

 

[Bornubus]

Pakistanis....should stop watching....indian media/films ....this will help reducing their obsession with india

Get your own money and pay your own sportsmen, and may be someday, some Indian cricketer will go and feature in some Pakistani TV channel..

 

[PoKeMon]

Take it just as a fun which is expected on a comedy show.

Have you guys heard Sehwag and gavaskar on the same show? They mocked Indian players.

Veena Malik was not even worth....to come near any indian cricketer....even though that poor actress came here to earn some money....may be she had made some bihari politicians as her ....friends for life

Whatever he said is not wrong. There is a point to which one should follow blind patriotism and than its time to wakeup. The team we sent to world cup is not fit to play even at national level. Misbah is only concerned getting his 50s, no leadership, no planning. Afridi, he is still stuck in his boom boom Afridi syndrome. A player of his age and experience and yet the team still cannot depend upon him to stick to the crease and play a decent innings. Same stands for Younis. Chal ga to theak werna 1 or 2 bana ker pavilion wapas.

It is the Pakistan cricket team along with Najam Satti, chief selector Moin Khan, head coach Waqar who needs to be blasted.

Exactly.... Wait, does that means Biharis are lowest of all Indians?

 

[Bornubus]

Exactly.... Wait, does that means Biharis are lowest of all Indians?

no...that means bihari politicians are richest in india to afford these comfort women.

 

[Indian_Devil]

no...that means bihari politicians are richest in india to afford these comfort women.

Ohj so you said bihari politicians the lowest...! Then its okay...

Finally I edited my post...
