Former Australia cricketer Brad Hogg received severe criticism on social media after a clip mocking Pakistan captain Mohammad Rizwan went viral. The clip highlighted Rizwan’s distinctive speaking style and mocked his English proficiency, and social media users pummeled Hogg.
In the clip circulating on X, formerly known as Twitter, Hogg is seen interviewing a content creator, whose looks resembled Indian batter Virat Kohli, impersonating Rizwan. The video has “Virat Kohli = Mohammad Rizwan” written on top.
During the interview, Hogg asked, “What do you think about Virat Kohli?” The impersonator responded saying: “I and Virat are alike. He drinks water, I drink water. He eats food, I eat food. We are both the same; there is no difference.” He also used one of Rizwan’s most popular responses, Ya win hai, learn,” when asked about Pakistan’s strategy.
The Aussie then jokingly praised Rizwan’s English proficiency, and the impersonator replied, “Yes, everyone in Pakistan says my English is very good.”
Social media users lashed out at Hogg after the video went viral, as the former spinner was shamed and called out for his “pathetic” act.
