"I told Fakhar Zaman you can now become brand ambassador for Masuri helmet makers!" : Imad Wasim

Imad Wasim & Rumman Raees on Eid Show


Imad Wasim

"Our nation needed that victory and we wanted to deliver this happiness to them"

"We feel lucky and still cannot believe that we are part of this team that has given so much happiness to the nation"

"The reception we got at home after winning the Champions Trophy is out of this world"

"In the match against England at Wales where the boundaries are shorter and Fakhar Zaman was facing bowling which was very quick and bouncers were being bowled too; he kept on hitting the ball and Azhar Ali asked him what are you doing, he says that Azhar Bhai, I am trying to get a top-edge six"

"Mickey Arthur was sitting outside and he says that this guy will be a legend"

"The amount of times Fakhar has been hit on the head, I told him you can now become the brand ambassador for Masuri"

"The way we fielded in the South Africa game, I told Steve Rixon (fielding coach) that don't worry, this also happens some times!"

 

[Markhor]

Great interviews.

Wow at Rumman's weight loss.

 

[theariezman]

Overwhelming response from all over Pakistan for the champions.

No comments on Dhoni as he was within the match and it could be depression or match pressure but we can expect anything when most humble guy of cricket have not said any single word on the CT final let alone for Pakistan victory.

Sarfraz Ahmed, Imad Wasim, Shadab Khan, Rumman Raees and Fakhar Zaman on Eid Show


Sarfraz Ahmed

"This Eid is very different for us due to the fact that we won the Champions Trophy and many people are visiting our home"

"We are getting lots of invitations for meals from people":

"The coach has given us strict instructions about maintaining weight so we will be watching what we eat"

"We are scared and were telling Fakhar Zaman to please dont play such shots and when he came back he says that all I was trying to do was to hit a top-edge six"

"When Mitch Johnson or Mitch Starc used to bat, we as a team would say dont sledge them as we did not want to irritate the fast-bowlers"

"I slept well before the final against India but it was after the victory that I have felt it difficult to sleep!"

"The team did not have the kind of pressure for the final which we felt before the 1st game against India"


Imad Wasim

"Our nation needed that victory and we wanted to deliver this happiness to them"

"We feel lucky and still cannot believe that we are part of this team that has given so much happiness to the nation"

"The reception we got at home after winning the Champions Trophy is out of this world"

"In the match against England at Wales where the boundaries are shorter and Fakhar Zaman was facing bowling which was very quick and bouncers were being bowled too; he kept on hitting the ball and Azhar Ali asked him what are you doing, he says that Azhar Bhai, I am trying to get a top-edge six"

"Mickey Arthur was sitting outside and he says that this guy will be a legend"

"The amount of times Fakhar has been hit on the head, I told him you can now become the brand ambassador for Masuri"



Shadab Khan

"Initially when I went to England, I wasnt getting that much attention from fans"

"In the first game against India, I was bowling to Rohit Sharma and the ball took the edge and he took a run and as he went past me I told him, if the ball was spinning even a little bit, I would have had you there; he laughed"

"Fakhar Zaman told me before that game that I have dreamt about being out on a no-ball"


Fakhar Zaman

"When we played against England, almost 80% of the fans were our supporters"

"Azhar Ali kept on telling me to play other shots but I kept on telling him that if I middle it will be a four on mid-wicket and a six if I top edge it"

"When I was batting well, Kohli and others were saying things to me so when I got to hundred I thought they would ignore it but when I looked at Kohli, I saw that he was looking down but graciously clapping for me"

"I was a little disappointed by MS Dhoni as he did not show much reaction after my hundred"

"In the England game, I was talking to the umpire in English but also knew that England players were trying to sledge me"

"At that time, Plunkett came by me and said something to me, I just shook my head and said 'no English' as in I cant understand it and he went away"

"After Plunkett had gone, the umpire smiled at me and shook my hand and said well done"

"I get asked about the no-ball so often that I recently told an interviewer, please ask anything except about that no-ball"

"The day before the India final - I felt very weak and did not practice much"

"The Physio gave me some supplements and medicine the night before and told me that in the morning at 7 am, you dont go to the Coach or Captain but come to me so we can see how you feel"

"Thankfully at 7 am on the day of the final, I messaged the physio that I was fit"

I cant even remember how many runs I scored in the CT and you are asking me about Amir's total ODI wickets?"




Rumman Raees

"Wasim Bhai got angry with me during PSL for eating rice and since then I havent touched rice again!"

"I was 91kgs then, now I am 81 Kgs"

have to add for those who may not have seen the show that it was being co-hosted by wasim akram.


also the guys talked a lot about the attention that they get from female fans and how aware about that attention imad was.

rumman also mentioned an anecdote on how sarfaraz got angry at him when he bowled four deliveries on the same length to bairstow because he had told him that bairstow is playing with hard hands so he should vary his pace.

refreshing to see the respect for sarfaraz that the players in the team have. also kinda shows the strong camaraderie that imad and sarfaraz have.

good watch this show

 

[Asif321]

Sarfraz and Babar Azam are best friends revealed in this show

 

[Square Drive]

Damn, Fakhar telling Shadab about the no-ball dream. Simply amazing.

And lol at Fakhar top-edging sixes. Even the whole Plunkett thing is hilarious - Fakhar is actually a legend.

Rumman's weight-loss and not touching rice is very impressive.

Great interviews overall!

 

[Naim]

Fakhair. No english. Hahahhahha man you are legend)

 

[Savak]

Imad Wasim should trim that beard, will look a lot better.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Good interviews,watched the show.Wasim's co-host was annoying though.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Fakhar seems pretty cool. Showing some playa qualities.

 

[MoAamer]

Fakhar, you are the future lifeline for Pakistan cricket. Please don't get carried away with the small things.

 

[Eagle_Eye]

How long are they going to milk this cow?... get over it already and get back to training.

 

[Abdullah]

Was a decent show, they opened up pretty well.
Happy to see they all thing babar Azam has the potential to go the furthest out of the group.
Same as what I thought from the outside
