Whatever the format is, the situation of Pakistan cricket team is not good at the moment. Many times the captain and coach have changed, but the condition of the team has been bad in the big tournament from the Bilateral Series. Pakistani fans are upset with their team’s performance and make fun of the team, but now in the full gathering, captain Salman Aga got fun of the Pakistani team and all this happened in a press conference, where Salman was accompanied by Afghan team captain Rashid Khan and United Arab Emirates (UAE) captain Muhammad Wasim.
There was a press conference in Dubai on Thursday 28 August before the T20 tri-series started between Pakistan, Afghanistan and UAE. The captains of the three teams answered media questions during this period. But there was a question in this, which was asked to Afghan captain Rashid Khan but it showed its effect on Pakistani captain Salman because this question was directly telling the reality of the Pakistani team.
Pakistani team insults with a question
Till some time ago, the Pakistani team, which is considered to be the biggest or second big force of Asian cricket, is no longer the status and this sentiment was also seen in that question. A reporter asked Rashid Khan what the targets are from this series because the Afghan team has become the second best team in Asia in T20 format. Now the Pakistani captain did not like this question and he started making mouths. This video of his reaction went viral on social media and he was also trolled.

Pakistani team reality
Now Salman Aga may not like the question and he should make his mouth as he wants, but his team’s reality is not hidden from anyone. Last year, the Pakistani team was eliminated in the group stage in the T20 World Cup, where it also lost to a new team like America. Similarly, a few months ago, he also got a shocking defeat against Ireland in a T20 match.
This year, the Pakistani team lost 1-4 in the T20 series on the tour of New Zealand. After this, he defeated Bangladesh 3–0 but then defeated 1-2 against this team. Recently, under Salman’s captaincy, the team definitely defeated the West Indies in the T20 series, but still fans and experts have less trust in the team.
