All this is fine but Shehzad really shouldn't be endorsing Tweets that contain OTT comments. One of the Tweets he liked said:

#stupid act by a comedian
#JavedChGhatiyaJournalist
doob k mer jaoo ab bugto gey
rating aur paiso k liye zamer bacha

 

[Syed1]

Ahmed bhai probably bugged all of them endlessly to tweet in his favour

Cant believe this guy has close to 1 million followers. Only in Pakistan.

 

[Muhammad10]

Perhaps he wouldn't be compared to "certain people" if he learnt how to be a little less obnoxious, both on and off the pitch.

Just like he asked Gayle to tweet for Pm Nawaz a year ago

 

[Rayyman]

Mash'Allah this is what a team should be like. Look at the whole squad supporting each other. Pakistani players have more chemistry than that of any other country.

Hardly, a similar team had infighting issues during the Aus tour.

 

[Saeed]

Someone give Shahzad a hug, selfie remarks have clearly touched a nerve. The first part of video is so true.

 

[Muhammad10]

Remarkable how he started off with a fairly jovial response to the journalist's comparison, but then proceeded to start liking disgusting, insulting tweets referring to the journalist as "ghatiya".

Particularly ironic given how ghatiya his own performances have been across his cricketing career.

From Ahmed Shehzad to Selfie to Now as.........'Ahmed Bhai'

Priviledged to be part of such an amazing journey for our very own Shezzy boy

Ankhoon mein aansoo agaye meray... Humara larka jawaan hogaya hai

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

PCB should arrange couple of matches for these players otherwise twitter will soon become their playground.

 

[Asim_khan]

John Terry did it before him and did it better. So there is someone other than Kohli he apes.

[Pakpak]

I saw that video yesterday, so hilarious

 

[Hitman]

You don't perform and you'll get all types of criticism, specially players from India and Pakistan. And a big LOL if anyone expects anything less from the media. And to that the guy's behavior on and off the field doesn't help much either. Saj mentioned it much before his debut from his personal experience how obnoxious the guy is.

 

[WebGuru]

Journalist Mistaken for Javed Chaudhry Beaten By Unidentified Men In Raawla Kot.

 

[Pakistanian]

I'm not a Shehzad fan but he's right this time. That journalist just like most Pakistani journalists tend to cross the line and get really personal. None of these journalists have played a team sport cause they would've known that when you're part of team then you're entitled to celebrate with the rest of YOUR team and Shehzad's teammate backed him this time cause they understand team spirit. People having issues with Shehzad liking "disrespectful" tweets need to realize that he wasn't the one that started this, that journalist insulted him and brought this on himself. Moreover Shehzad is a 20-something SPORTSMAN, he's a jock. He's not expected be a well spoken or well behaved person. It's the 50-something year old journalist who should've known better.
