Ahmed Shehzad says I’m a bit of a showman

Pakistani batsman Ahmed Shehzad was once tipped to be the next big thing in Pakistan cricket. He did show a lot of promise at the start of his career. However, it was dwindling form and fortunes that saw him move out of the team. To add to that, it was the disciplinary issues that did not work in his favor either. Ever since being out of the national side, the out of favor batsman has time and again come up with bold statements in the media.

Ahmed Shehzad was recently seen plying his trade in the Bangladesh Premier League. He then turned up for the Habib Bank in the domestic trophy. With an unbeaten century and a 71 in the tournament, Shehzad gave glimpses of return to form. Whether he gets back to the team or not, only time will tell. Ever since he has been away, other batsmen have cashed in on the opportunity to cement their places in the side.

The likes of Asad Shafiq, Babar Azam and Sami Aslam have had meteoric rise in their careers. In a very recent comment, as per a renowned Pakistan journalist, Ahmed Shehzad gave a very brave statement. However, it turned out to be a rather funny one for the cricket fans. He lamented over the fact that all great batsmen have good followers and support.

He gave a subtle hint that it is perhaps this lack of support that has seen him not escalate as high as some of the best batsman. The comment from the Pakistani batsman indirectly hinted at a direct self-comparison being made by Shahzad with the likes of Virat Kohli, Joe Root and Kane Williamson.

In a tweet, a renowned Pakistan journalist wrote, “Ahmed Shehzad “If you look at Virat Kohli, Kane Williamson & Joe Root, you will see that unlike me, they all got a lot of support” #Cricket.”

Well, the Twitter world took very little time to hit hard at Shehzad and came up with trolling replies to the comment. Here are some of the best replies:
