New Delhi. Former Pakistani cricketer Abdul Razak recently called Indian actress Aishwarya Rai’s name in a press conference. Now this conference was about cricket, but Razak made such an absurd statement that he faced a lot of criticism. Surprisingly, when Abdul Razak was speaking at this ongoing conference in Pakistan, former Pakistani cricketer Shahid Afridi was also sitting on the stage and he was also seen laughing and clapping at this statement.
In fact, the performance of Pakistan team in Cricket World Cup 2023 has been very bad and this team has been eliminated from the World Cup. Pakistan team played 9 matches and won only 4 matches. For this reason, Pakistan Cricket Board is being heavily criticized from captain Babbar Azam’s captaincy. Former star all-rounder of Pakistan cricket team Abdul Razak is also among these critics. Razak has come under heavy criticism after comparing Aishwarya Rai’s name to the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).
Talking about the PCB’s intentions, Razak said, ‘I am talking about the PCB’s intentions here. When I was playing I knew that my captain was Younis Khan, he had very good intentions. By God’s grace I was able to perform well for Pakistan cricket. The thing is whether we intend to polish the players or not. If you think I am with Aishwarya Rai…. So, first you have to set your intention straight. In this statement, Razak has spoken so lowly that we do not even want to repeat it.
“If you think that by marrying actress Aishwarya Rai, a good and virtuous child will be born, it will never happen” ~ Pakistani cricketer Abdul Razak.

While Abdul Razak was making this statement, many players including Shahid Afridi, Saeed Ajmal, Umar Gul were present on the stage, but instead of interrupting or objecting to the statement, these former cricketers were seen laughing and clapping. This is not the first time that he is in the headlines for his controversial statement. Earlier he compared Hardik Pandya with Kapil Dev for which fans made fun of him. He has also made controversial comments on Jasprit Bumrah.
