Abdul Razzaq Gets Bashed For His Shameful Remarks On Aishwarya Rai, Says “If You Think That By Marrying Her…”

There was a great deal of excitement and expectation when the Pakistani cricket team joined the 2023 Cricket World Cup. Led by the gifted batter Babar Azam, Pakistan was the favorite side. Their past success as 1992 Cricket World Cup champions and their rivalry with host India made them a fan favorite. However, what unfolded during the tournament itself turned out to be a far cry from the expected success story.

Their campaign in the World Cup can be best described as disappointing and forgettable. During the league stage, they participated in nine matches and won just four of them. Both supporters and detractors found the team’s losses extremely disheartening, especially when they came against established opponents like Australia, South Africa, and India. These defeats, along with a few subpar games against other teams, brought attention to several issues inside the team.

After this underwhelming season, the squad was met with harsh criticism from a variety of sources. As captain, Babar Azam was under a great deal of pressure. Concerns were voiced about his tactics, leadership, and capacity to guide the group through difficult circumstances. Pakistan’s spinners, who are regarded as one of their traditional strengths, performed poorly throughout the tournament, which made matters worse for the squad.

Former Pakistani cricketer Abdul Razzaq is also one of those who made multiple statements about the team’s performance. However, during a recent media interaction, Abdul Razzaq stirred controversy with his outrageous comments about actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. His words went beyond the acceptable boundaries of decorum, and that’s why he has been receiving criticism.

Abdul Razzaq makes outrageous comments about Aishwarya Rai Bachchan

While Pakistan’s poor performance at the ongoing ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 is becoming a hot topic of conversation, former Pakistani cricketer Abdul Razzaq recently stole the limelight on social media with his contentious comments on Indian actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.

Instead of criticizing the team’s performances on the field, Razzaq chose to aim at the Pakistan Cricket Board. However, for doing this, he cited a startling instance that sparked debate over the appropriateness and sportsmanship of public contacts within the cricket community. He said,

Younis Khan had a good intention as a captain and it gave me confidence to perform better. Everyone over here is taking about the intention and Pakistan’s team. Actually, we don’t have good intention to develop and polish players in Pakistan. If you think that by marrying Aishwarya Rai, a good and pious kid would be wrong, it would never happen.

However, what is more, shocking is Shahid Afridi’s response, which was marked by laughter and clapping. His response exacerbated the already heated situation rather than intervening or rejecting Razzaq’s words. Netizens took to social media to thrash Abdul Razzaq for making such an outrageous statement. Many also defended him, saying that it was not intentional.

Here is how the netizens reacted to Abdul Razzaq’s outrageous statement on Aishwarya Rai

Their cricket team deserves all the hate they get from Indian fans

Nothing has changed over the years. Degraded mindset as ever!

The worst part is there are a few Indians who have them (paki cricketers) as their Heros!

What fun it would be if someone in the media asks Ash about this, and she responds with a “Abdul Razzaq who?” 😅

Abdul Razzaq ki neeyat thik nahi hain..

Paki men are medieval and chauvinistic…

Not a single pakistani cricketer should be allowed henceforth in Bharat for passing such vulgar comments!

BCCI got many valid reasons & should exercise it!

Looks like the commotion around his statement is not going to end anytime soon.
