Former Pakistan cricketer Shahid Afridi opened up about Abdul Razzaq’s comments on Aishwarya Rai Bachchan which he made during an event. He said that he didn’t notice what his teammate said and he would make sure that Razzaq apologized for his comments.
During an event in Pakistan, former cricketers were assessing the team’s performance during the ICC World Cup 2023. While every expert present there talked about where the team lacked in the tournament, Abdul Razzaq made a distasteful remark.
Abdul Razzaq’s comments triggered a lot of fans. He targeted the team with their intentions. He said that before doing anything we need to make our intentions clear. He cited the example of his playing days, saying that he knew Younis Khan had a desire to take the team forward, and then only he gave his best. Speaking during the event, he said:
“Younis Khan had good intentions as a captain and it gave me confidence to perform better. Everyone over here is talking about the intention and Pakistan’s team. Actually, we don’t have good intentions to develop and polish players in Pakistan. If you think that by marrying Aishwarya Rai, a good and pious kid would be born, it would never happen.”
After his comments circulated on the internet, he received a lot of criticism for it. Shahid Afridi, who was present there, also was at the receiving end of a lot of criticism as he was seen laughing when Abdul Razzaq made the comment.
I will just text him to apologize – Shahid Afridi
Shahid Afridi has now cleared why he laughed that time. He said that when Abdul Razzaq took the mic, he knew that Razzaq would say something stupid. Afridi added that when he saw the video later on, he realized that Razzaq said wrong. Speaking on the TV show, the legendary all-rounder said he will make sure that Razzaq issues an apology.
Here’s the video:

Umar Gul also reacted to the viral clip and he stated: “Dear brother, @SAfridiOfficial bhai and I did not clap in the clip to endorse what Abdul Razzaq said but it was in sarcasm. No1 there appreciated or endorsed what was said by him. It was ethically n morally wrong. Everyone has a different perspective and it’s always wrong to name people who r not even a part of the conversation.”
