“Babar played well in The Ashes” - Twitterati troll Pakistan legend Waqar Younis over “England in the Asia Cup” slip of tongue

Former Pakistan captain Waqar Younis was a great fast bowler without a doubt during his playing days. However, his commentary and analysis skills are nowhere near as good. He has often been trolled for his bizarre comments and his accent.Waqar was at it again during the T20I match between Pakistan and Bangladesh at the Hagley Oval in Christchurch on Thursday, October 13, played as part of the tri-series in New Zealand.While praising Mohammad Nawaz, he had a slip of tongue on air and ended up stating that the all-rounder had played an innings against “England” during the Asia Cup. Nawaz smashed an unbeaten 40 off 25 after being promoted to No. 4 in Pakistan’s chase of 174 against Bangladesh.He had earlier scored 42 off 20 against India after being sent into bat at No. 4 in the Super 4 clash in Dubai. On that occasion, Pakistan registered a five-wicket win while chasing 182. This was the innings Waqar was referring to, but his mistake ended up becoming a means to troll the former pacer.Some fans did back the Pakistan legend, stating that it was a simple case of a slip of the tongue. The majority of the reactions, though, were cheeky and hilarious in nature. Here's how the Twitterati reacted to Waqar’s “England at the Asia Cup” blunder:Maham Fatima@Maham0fficial_2Waqar Younis on Air &quot;Mohammad Nawaz played an innings against England in the ASIA cup&quot;88833Waqar Younis on Air &quot;Mohammad Nawaz played an innings against England in the ASIA cup&quot;Muhammad Ali@muhammadalita@Bobby71964195 @Maham0fficial_2 Haris rauf ko Haris sohail bolta hai aur Asif Ali ko Muhammad Asif7@Bobby71964195 @Maham0fficial_2 Haris rauf ko Haris sohail bolta hai aur Asif Ali ko Muhammad AsifKamran🇵🇰@Kami_hun_yarLe all of us to Waqar:#pakvsbangladeshLe all of us to Waqar:#pakvsbangladesh https://t.co/zQCQ6ja3lnKomal see ♡@Komal_seeNawaz played same type of inning against England in Asia cup.Waqar younis:13Nawaz played same type of inning against England in Asia cup.Waqar younis: https://t.co/0XyYdWawjzRavi Yadav@RaviYadav_Csk@muhammadalita @FahadAm53035448 @Maham0fficial_2 Shaheen Afridi ko Shahid Afridi bolta h@muhammadalita @FahadAm53035448 @Maham0fficial_2 Shaheen Afridi ko Shahid Afridi bolta hnuman♡‿♡@numankkhan7@FahadAm53035448 @Maham0fficial_2 hh qsm s, so annoying1@FahadAm53035448 @Maham0fficial_2 hh qsm s, so annoyingSyed Atif Bukhari@Atif0030@Maham0fficial_2 He's our own &quot;babu bhaiyya&quot; he's been saying &quot;Shafi ud din&quot; instead of &quot;Saifudin&quot; the whole match.So relax &quot;ary tera naam kya tha ry baba? babu bhaiyya, Aby ay halkat babu bhaiyya mera naam ha 🤣@waqyounis99 @SirPareshRawal1@Maham0fficial_2 He's our own &quot;babu bhaiyya&quot; he's been saying &quot;Shafi ud din&quot; instead of &quot;Saifudin&quot; the whole match.So relax &quot;ary tera naam kya tha ry baba? babu bhaiyya, Aby ay halkat babu bhaiyya mera naam ha 🤣😅😂@waqyounis99 @SirPareshRawalMuhammad Owais@owaiskk786@Maham0fficial_2 Han mene b suna tha ye🤣@Maham0fficial_2 Han mene b suna tha ye🤣Naveed🇵🇰🇸🇩Free Palestine@kch_nahi_chaiy@Maham0fficial_2 Koi bat nahi Insan he galti se Nikal gaya ho ga Mou se@Maham0fficial_2 Koi bat nahi Insan he galti se Nikal gaya ho ga Mou seRayviews@rayviews@Maham0fficial_2 Lol I heard that too!
