Pakistan's star speedster Naseem Shah was embroiled in a bizarre moment as he was seen body shaming his countryman Azam Khan followed by some verbal banter during the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) match between Comilla Victorians and Khulna Tigers on Tuesday (January 31).
The incident happened when Khulna Tigers' Mosaddek Hossain dismissed Tamim Iqbal on the first ball of the 20th over of Khulna Tigers' innings which saw Azam Khan arriving at the crease next. Near the boundary rope, Naseem went to Azam and hit him with his chest while the latter was walking towards the pitch with his bat in hand. In response, Azam pushed back Naseem, who was then trying to shake hands with him. Soon after, Naseem was spotted copying Azam's walking style in a funny way.
Naseem's gesture didn't go down well with the cricket fans as they started bashing Pakistan's pacer on Twitter.

However, riding on a six and a four, Azam belted 12 runs in mere four balls while Naseem snared one wicket in his four-over spell in which he conceded 34 runs.
Meanwhile, the Imrul Kayes-led side got the better of Khulna Tigers by seven wickets to record the highest run-chase of BPL game. Batting first, the Tigers posted a colossal 212 on board riding on the back of Tamim Iqbal's terrific 95 off 61. Later, Shai Hope too chipped in with a blistering 91 off 55.
But undeterred by the huge target Comilla Victorians overhauled the target without breaking a sweat. Pakistan's star wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan gave Victorians a perfect start as cracked a stunning 73 off 39. Further Johnson Charles joined the party and scored a scintillating cenuntry to snatch the game away from Tigers as he whacked a phenomenal 107 off 56 which also earned him the Player of the Match.
