'Messi English na bole theek, lekin hum fake personality bana le' - Shadab Khan slams social media user for targeting Hasan Ali

Shadab Khan and Hasan Ali are two prominent names in Pakistan cricket. They have helped the team achieve many laurels together, and one of their biggest achievements was helping Pakistan win the ICC Champions Trophy in 2017 by beating India in the finals.

Pakistan vice-captain Shadab Khan recently shared a few stylish pictures of himself on his 'X' handle. Hasan Ali, who shares a great camaraderie with Shadab, shared the all-rounder's post from his own X handle and expressed his love for his friend.

"Mai sadqy jaon wari jaon apny yaar pa Maa Sha Allah nazar na lag jaye (May God keep my friend away from evil eyes)," Hasan wrote in the caption of his post on Shadab. To this, an individual on the platform asked Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), team manager Rehan-ul-Haq, and PCB's media team to 'educate' the fast bowler on how to use social media platforms. 

"For God's Sake [Hasan Ali] You are an international cricketer...!! @TheRealPCBMedia @Rehan_ulhaq @TheRealPCB at least educate them how to use social media platforms," the 'X' user wrote.

This controversial reply on 'X' irked Shadab as he fired back saying that a renowned footballer like Lionel Messi not being able to speak English is not a problem, but Pakistan cricketers are expected to be well-versed with the language.

"Messi english na bolay theek. Foreign players english mai aesi baat ker de theek. Laikin hmy chahe ke ham natural na rahe. Hum fake personality bna le. Bhai mujhe to apne culture ya mazak mai koi sharam nahi. Allah sab ko khush rakhay aur dosre ki khushi mai bhi khush rakhay (Messi doesn't speak English, it's fine. Foreign players speak whatever they want in English, it is fine. But if we act natural, we have a fake personality. Brother, I am not ashamed of my culture. May Allah keep everyone happy in not just in their own happiness but also in the happiness of others)."
