The 24-year-old all-rounder Shadab jumped into the defence of Hasan and taught a lesson to the troll with a befitting reply.
The issue started with Shadab posting some pictures on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Friday, with a caption, “Modelling skills better? Learning from my teammates.”
Hasan commented on Shadab’s post and lavished praise on him in a humorous way and wrote “Mai sadqy jaon wari jaon apny yaar pa, Maa Sha Allah nazar na lag jaye.”
But Hasan’s praising Shadab in his mother tongue did not go well with a fan as he asked the Pakistan Cricket Board to educate their players.
“For God’s Sake @RealHa55an, You are an international cricketer…!! @TheRealPCBMedia @Rehan_ulhaq @TheRealPCB at least educate them how to use social media platforms,” he posted.
But Shadab supported Hasan and schooled the fan for not judging players like Lionel Messi, who also could not speak proper English.
“Messi english na bolay theek. Foreign players english mai aesi baat ker de theek. Laikin hmy chahe ke ham natural na rahe. Hum fake personality bna le. Bhai mujhe to apne culture ya mazak mai koi sharam nahi. Allah sab ko khush rakhay aur dosre ki khushi mai bhi khush rakhay,” Shadab replied.
