Wasim Jaffer mentions his double century against Pakistan to shut down a troll

The week gone by hasn’t been pleasant for Pakistan cricket by any means. After New Zealand pulled out of the white-ball series after landing in the nation, England also cancelled their historic tour of Pakistan citing the ‘mental and physical being’ of their players. Dejected by the decision of the Three Lions, many fans and experts took to social media and slammed the England and Wales Cricket Board.

Former Indian opener Wasim Jaffer is also one of them. Jaffer, in a tweet, said PCB have every right to be disappointed with the English board. He also reminded ECB that Pakistan and West Indies travelled to UK last even before the vaccines were out.

“The @TheRealPCB have every reason to be disappointed with the ECB. Pak and WI toured England last year during pandemic before vaccines. England owes so much to both Pak and WI. Least ECB could do is not cancel the reciprocal tours. There are no winners when cricket is cancelled,” tweeted Jaffer.

While many social media users echoed Jaffer’s opinion, a disgruntled fan made an unpleasant comment. The netizen apparently accused Jaffer of cheering Pakistan when they even play against India. “Wasim bhai wahi hai jo India Pakistan ke match main Pakistan ko cheer karte hai in the name of sporting spirit (Wasim Bhai is that person who supports Pakistan in India vs Pakistan matches in the name of sporting spirit),” he wrote in a tweet which was deleted later.

Needless to mention, Jaffer would have been disappointed after coming across the remarks. However, instead of lashing out, the former Indian opener came with an apt response. Replying to the message, the veteran shared the scoreboard of the Kolkata Test between India and Pakistan in 2007.

Jaffer put up a batting exhibition in the game and scored a magnificent double century. From Danish Kaneria to Shoaib Akhtar, Jaffer took every Pakistan bowler to cleaners on that day. Overall, he scored 202 off just 274 balls. He smashed as many as 34 boundaries during the course of his knock. The game eventually ended in a draw. It was one of Jaffer’s finest Test knocks and he didn’t miss out on reminding the same to the fan.

The comment section got flooded in no time as fans were impressed with Jaffer’s response. Notably, the former cricketer is known for posting hilarious memes on social media. However, his latest antics showcased his wit as well.
