When Pakistan’s retired army general suggested that Shadab’s reckless batting had led to the side’s defeat in the T20 World Cup group match against Zimbabwe, Shadab Khan responded with a hilarious joke.
In the T20 World Cup final against England, Pakistan lost five wickets. The side that had reached the final in dramatic fashion had survived twin losses to Zimbabwe and India in the group stage. However, they had an extraordinary result as South Africa beat Netherlands to secure Pakistan’s automatic qualification for the semis. However, Pakistan suffered an injury setback to Shaheen Afridi, who was injured in his knee and couldn’t finish his four-over quota in run-chase. The Babar Azam-led team had lost to India in its first match, before falling to Zimbabwe by a stunning 1-run margin in the second. The side was unable to reach its 130-run target and fell short of the run target. The side was at 36/3 in the eighth over. Shadab Khan joined Shan Masood; the pair had built a 52-run stand for the fourth wicket. It seemed that Pakistan was winning the match. However, Shadab tried an explosive hit right after hitting a six against Sikander Raha and lost his wicket. This triggered a batting collapse. The match was reduced to 129/8 after 20 overs. Shaheen Afridi was run out on the last ball. Qamar Javed Bajwa, Pakistan’s former army general, attended the event. He made a joke about Shadab Khan’s match against Zimbabwe. Lekin Zimbabwe ka match bhi inhone harwaaya hai. Chhakka maarne ke baad agle ball pe hit maara (In T20s, Shadab is very good. He also lost the match against Zimbabwe. He had hit a six, and then he went to another hit),” Bajwa stated, prompting laughter from the crowd. “Kudrat Ka Nizaam hai main out huatoh final me pohoche”
