Renowned Pakistani host and comedian Tabish Hashmi took a humorous dig at the national cricket team following Pakistan’s heavy defeat to India in the T20 World Cup.
During his television program, Hashmi playfully criticized Pakistani players while also taking light-hearted jabs at the Indian cricket team and board. In a viral clip from the show, he remarked, “News is what shouldn’t happen; what happens all the time isn’t called news—and today was just such a day.”
He referenced commentators Mohammad Amir, Rashid Latif, and Ahmed Shehzad, saying, “They predicted what would happen, and indeed the unexpected happened elsewhere—like the USA defeating Namibia.”
Hashmi also mocked the national excitement over India’s win, noting that while the victory was celebrated in India, Pakistanis have become accustomed to such outcomes and were largely unfazed.
In a tongue-in-cheek segment, he applauded players Shaheen Shah Afridi, Babar Azam, and Shadab Khan for their underwhelming performances, highlighting the comedic approach to the team’s loss.
His commentary, blending satire with cricket analysis, quickly went viral on social media, generating laughs and discussions among fans.
