Following the Pakistan cricket team’s forgettable performance at the ongoing ICC World Cup, the team has been receiving criticism left, right and centre.

During a recent media interaction, former Pakistani all-rounder Abdul Razzaq blasted the team for their performance.

Razzaq questioned the team’s neeyat (intent). However, what caught the netizens’ attention was Razzaq’s comment about Hindi film actor Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.

Razzaq said, “If you marry Aishwarya Rai with the intention of having a good kid, then it will not happen.”

Former Pakistan cricketers Shahid Afridi and Umar Gul were seen laughing and clapping at the comment.
