Everyone is familiar with the controversy over former speedster Shoaib Akhtar’s “brand” remark regarding cricketer Babar Azam, who is a fan favourite.
The Pakistani captain’s speaking abilities were criticised by Akhtar.
After this case made headlines, Babar Azam’s admirers and followers were not pleased. Along with the encouragement of the crowd, the excellent batsman also had the backing of other teammates and past cricket players.
This time, Pakistan’s fast bowling phenom Shaheen Shah Afridi indirectly supported his skipper by criticising the former fast bowler for his offensive remarks during an interview with a local broadcaster.
Afridi responded with a smile when the journalist inquired about his favourite aspect of Shoaib Akhtar: “[Akhtar] makes a very good brand.”
On social media, a meme video of this portion of the interview has gone viral.
