Former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram had shared an interesting observation on how Australians mispronounce 'Fakhar' in Pakistan batter Fakhar Zaman's name during the commentary in the third Test between Australia and Pakistan in Sydney.
In a hilarious video shared by Triple M on its X handle (formerly Twitter), Akram was seen trolling Australian commentators over difficultly in pronouncing Fakhar Zaman's name. He said that Fakhar's name is often messed up by Aussies.
"There’s another name you guys mess up as well. Try pronounce Fakhar.” former Pakistan pacer said. The comment left the Aussie commentators in splits.
Akram went out on to narrate on his Australian wife Shaneira's trouble in pronouncing the name. He added that Australians can't pronounce 'K' in Fakhar's name.
"So my wife came to Pakistan and my son’s friend’s name was Fakhar. He brought his friend. He was 12 years old and he said, this is my friend Fakhar. Because Australians can’t pronounce ‘K’, it took her about two years to pronounce his name." he said.
Wasim Akram was part of Triple M commentary panel for the recently concluded three-match Test series between Australia and Pakistan, where visitors clean swept 0-3 by hosts.
During his commentary stint with Triple for the series in Down Under, Wasim Akram had a plenty of fun times. He also recalled a hilarious incident of sledging at Melbourne Cricket Ground during his playing days, crowd calling him 'Wasim is a Banker'
