After New Zealand and England pulled out of the proposed white-ball series against Pakistan, many fans and cricketers have flocked to lend support to Pakistan and criticize New Zealand and England’s decision.
Former Indian opener Wasim Jaffer was also one of them. Jaffer, in a tweet, said PCB have every right to be disappointed with the English board.
He also reminded ECB that Pakistan and West Indies travelled to UK last even before the vaccines were out.
While fans on social media echoed Jaffer’s opinion, a disgruntled fan made an unpleasant comment.
The netizen apparently accused Jaffer of cheering Pakistan when they even play against India.
“Wasim bhai wahi hai jo India Pakistan ke match main Pakistan ko cheer karte hai in the name of sporting spirit (Wasim Bhai is that person who supports Pakistan in India vs Pakistan matches in the name of sporting spirit),” he wrote in a tweet which was deleted later.
Wasim Jaffer obviously disappointed at the remarks chose the perfect retort. Replying to the message, the veteran shared the scoreboard of the Kolkata Test between India and Pakistan in 2007.
Jaffer put up a batting exhibition in the game and scored a magnificent double century. From Danish Kaneria to Shoaib Akhtar, Jaffer took every Pakistan bowler to cleaners on that day.
Overall, he scored 202 off just 274 balls. He smashed as many as 34 boundaries during the course of his knock.
The comment section got flooded in no time as fans were impressed with Jaffer’s response.
Notably, the former cricketer is known for posting hilarious memes on social media. However, his latest antics showcased his wit as well.
