The Pakistan Cricket Team is currently engaged in a five-match T20I series against England as part of their preparation for the T20 World Cup 2024, which will be hosted by the West Indies and the United States of America. During a break from the field, Pakistan all-rounder Shadab Khan experienced a humorous encounter with a fan.
While waiting for her chance to take a picture with the international star, the fan took a playful jab at Shadab, asking, “Tum itna chakka kyu khaate ho? (Why do you concede so many sixes?)”. This unexpected question left Shadab momentarily speechless, but he graciously proceeded to take the photo with the fan.
