The Pakistan cricket team’s series win against England brought back a sense of joy in the nation. After a comprehesive loss in the first match, Pakistan showed stunning turnaround in their performance to win the next two Tests, and the series. However, as Pakistan great Ramiz Raja interviewed captain Shan Masood after the game, some of the questions he asked left social media flabbergasted. Instead of praising the Pakistan skipper for the manner in which his team turned the table around.
“Aapne 6 losses in a row kaise achieve kiya (How did you achieve six losses in a row?)”, Ramiz asked Masood, leaving even the presenter stunned over the nature of the question.

Pakistan pacer Mohammad Amir, reacting to the video, went into an epic rant, asking the intention behind content of questions Ramiz asked Masood in the interview.
“You should celebrate the series win. There is a series winning captain sitting next to you. You should have asked him about the win, next plans. But you are making fun of him. Have some respect. You are literate people and you should behave like one as well. Where the credit is due, you should give it. I was feeling so bad for Shan. Ramiz has been doing on-air duties for so long now and he has no idea what to ask a winning captain,” said Amir in a video that surfaced on X.

Amir was in no mood to spare Ramiz over the nature of comments he made in the interview with Masood. While the chatter should’ve been around the achievements of Masood and the Pakistan team, considering they had beaten a top side like England, Ramiz remained hell-bent on asking negative questions to put Masood in a spot, a fact that Amir didn’t like.
