Chennai: Former fast bowler Waqar Younis was so emotional on Pakistan’s defeat by Afghanistan during the commentary that even the language left him.
Afghanistan defeated Pakistan for the first time in the history of One Day International in the ICC World Cup match in Chennai on Monday.
In an important tournament like the World Cup, the worst defeat of the national team by 8 wickets after a one-sided match by Afghanistan has made every Pakistani sad.
Pakistani cricket fans and former cricketers are expressing their anger over the performance of the team in private gatherings including social media.
In such a situation, the video of Pakistan’s former famous fast bowler Waqar Younis, viral on social media, has reflected the feelings of every Pakistani, whose face showed the pain of defeat against Afghanistan.
After Afghanistan’s historic win against Pakistan, former Zimbabwe player Pumi Mbangwa in the commentary box started making comments, Waqar Younis, who was in the commentary panel, looked very depressed and instead of speaking, he kept silent.
