Social media users are trolling a reporter for asking an ‘irresponsible’ question from Pakistan batter Azhar Ali during a media talk.
The journalist asked the batter if he had considered how much his and his teammate Imam-ul-Haq’s centuries had harmed Pakistan’s innings. Moreover, he commented that the batter did not perform in a courageous manner.
An interesting ‘question’ in today’s press conference.
