New Delhi: While Pakistan lost the crucial Asia Cup final encounter against Sri Lanka, it left fans disappointed and distraught but when the Pakistani Cricket Board (PCB) Ramiz Raja was questioned about the same, he refused to admit it and rather dodged the question.
While skirting the question, he also misbehaved the Indian journalist, who posed at the question at him outside the Dubai stadium where Pakistan & Sri Lanka vied for the Asia Cup title.
Ramiz Raja lost his cool when the Indian reporter questioned him about Pakistan’s loss against Lanka by 23 runs in the clash for final.
The scribe asked whether the Pakistan’s awaam was sad over team’s disappointing loss to Sri Lanka, the PCB chief got furious.
क्या मेरा सवाल ग़लत था – क्या पाकिस्तान के फ़ैन नाखुश नहीं है – ये बहुत ग़लत था एक बोर्ड के चेयरमैन के रूप में – आपको मेरा फ़ोन नहीं छीनना चाहिये था – that’s not right Mr Chairman Taking my phone was not right @TheRealPCB @iramizraja #PAKvSL #SLvsPAK pic.twitter.com/tzio5cJvbG

Snapping at the Indian journo, Ramiz Raza said, ‘Aap India se hain?’ Aap to bade khush honge? (Are you from India? You must be very happy then?)”.
When the journo tried to further question him, the PCB chief tried to snatch his mobile phone.
Later, the journo took to Twitter to share the video of the incident and also asked if he posed the wrong question.
Former Pakistani cricketer, though know for his fiery & direct views on various issues, is receiving lot of flak for the disrespectful behavior.
In the Asia Cup final, Pakistan won toss and chose to field first. Sri Lanka’s batting line up collapsed as they got reduced to 58/5 before Bhanuka Rajapaksa and Wanindu Hasarang took the total to modest 170.
Pakistan failed to chase the target and lost the match by 23 runs.
