Ramiz Raja’s Comment on Ashwin: A Statement That Will Upset Indian Fans

Ramiz Raja’s Comment Sparks Outrage Among Indian Fans

After a heavy defeat in the first Test, the Pakistan team retained the same pitch for the second Test but made several changes in the team. Pakistan rested veteran players like Babar Azam, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Naseem Shah and gave some fresh faces a chance. Babar Azam was dropped from the team after not scoring a single half-century in the last 9 Test matches. But Kamran Ghulam, who got his place in the team today in his place, scored a powerful half-century in his first attempt. Apart from this, opener Salim Ayub also scored a half-century. While Ayub was batting, Pakistani commentator Rameez Raja made a mistake that would surely anger the Indian fans.

Ramiz Raja’s Comment on Ashwin

In the second Test against England, Pakistan captain Shan Masood won the toss and elected to bat first. Pakistan’s opening pair of Saeem Ayub and Abdullah Shafiq started very modestly. In 5 overs, Pakistan scored 15 runs without losing a single wicket. Then in the 6th over, spinner Jack Leach came to bowl. So the commentator Rameez Raja started a discussion about the performance of the spinner in the first and second innings. Speaking at the time, Rameez Raja said, “I spoke about the performance of the spinner in the first innings and the second innings because the spinner who performed well in the first innings said that the name of India’s Ravinder Ashwin comes to my mind.

Fans React on Social Media

Ashwin is a famous spinner not only in India but all over the world. He has made an impression with his bowling in every corner of the world. Also, Rameez Raja is a senior commentator. At such a time, fans did not like Ravichandran Ashwin’s name to be mistaken as Ravinder Ashwin. Many expressed their displeasure on social media.

Ramiz Raja’s mistake may have been unintentional, but it certainly drew criticism from cricket fans, especially in India.
