Shadab's Stylish Tweet


Shadab Khan, the 24-year-old Pakistani cricket sensation, took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to share some stylish pictures of himself with the caption, "Modelling skills better? Learning from my teammates." This simple tweet would soon spark a heartwarming exchange.


Hasan Ali's Hilarious Praise


Hasan Ali, known for his witty sense of humour, couldn't resist responding to Shadab's tweet. He wrote, "Mai sadqy jaon wari jaon apny yaar pa, Maa Sha Allah nazar na lag jaye." Hasan's humorous comment was a testament to the close bond he shares with Shadab.


The Troll and Shadab's Response


However, this exchange took an unexpected turn when a fan tagged the Pakistan Cricket Board in a tweet, reprimanding Hasan for his language on a public platform. The fan urged Hasan to educate himself on social media etiquette, given his status as an international cricketer. This tweet ignited a response from Shadab Khan, who swiftly came to Hasan's defence.


Shadab pointed out the hypocrisy of criticizing Hasan's language skills when international football stars like Lionel Messi also struggle with English. Shadab emphasized the importance of authenticity and not succumbing to the pressure of portraying a fake persona. His response showcased his pride in his culture and sense of humour.

Shadab Khan, who recently participated in The Hundred for Birmingham Phoenix, is set to return to action in the upcoming Asia Cup. Pakistan's first match against Nepal is scheduled for August 30.
