Pakistan women's team practice video goes viral, Aakash Chopra takes a dig
A video of an unusual human-chain drill by Pakistan women's cricketers is being widely shared, and former India cricketer Aakash Chopra has poked fun at it.
An odd and amusing video of a Pakistan women's cricket team practice session is doing the rounds on the internet. Former India cricketer and well-known commentator Aakash Chopra could not help commenting on the Pakistan Cricket Board's training methods after watching it.
Stories of the Pakistan men's team's strange military training and poor fielding on the field have surfaced before. Some time ago, an odd practice video of the men's team had also gone viral. Now a similar video of the women's team has emerged, and people are trolling it heavily.
In the video, which is being widely shared on social media, four players are seen holding each other's hands and legs to form a strange human chain. One player is seated at the bottom, another is hanging in the air, and the other two are supporting her.
Fans watching the video are asking what such exercises or circus-like stunts have to do with cricket timing, catching or fitness. It was initially reported that this was a practice session of the senior women's team, but according to the information available, the scene is from a practice session of Pakistan's Under-19 women's team.
Chopra, known for his outspoken views on social media, took a dig at Pakistan cricket's new experiments through the video. He said jokingly that Pakistan cricket is increasingly becoming a subject of ridicule rather than a sport.
He said the Pakistan men's team has already been trolled for its unusual camps and fielding practice, and it now seems the women's team has taken the same path.
Chopra also remarked that the world has reached the moon, but Pakistan remains stuck where it was. Fans are sharing his video widely.
The odd videos linked to Pakistan cricket have once again given cricket experts and fans plenty of material for memes.
