‘Isko finance minister banao’: Shahid Afridi hilariously trolls Shoaib Akhtar for his comments on PAK skipper

The Legends League Cricket (LLC) Masters in Doha has brought together the stars of yesteryear from around the world to relive the golden days. The ongoing competition features three teams representing India, Asia, and the World. For fans, it’s a nostalgic trip down memory lane, while for the players, it’s an opportunity to spend time with former teammates, relive old memories, and play some cricket, albeit at an older stage of their lives.

Representing the Asia Lions, Pakistani cricketers Shahid Afridi, Shoaib Akhtar, Sohail Tanvir, and Misbah-ul-Haq recently sat down for a fun chat on the pacers YouTube channel. The players reminisced about their best years and shared their experiences of playing in the LLC Masters. They also had a good laugh at each other’s expense, led by the hilarious Afridi. In one of his jokes, Afridi trolled Akhtar, suggesting that since he knows how to make brands, he should become the Pakistan finance minister.

“Main toh keh raha hu Ishaq Dar (Pakistan’s finance minister) sahab ki chhutti karwao, Shoaib Akhtar ko finance minister leke aao. Isko brand banaane aate hain, ye brand banaayega (I’m telling you, relieve Ishaq Dar of his duties. Bring Shoaib Akhtar as the finance minister. He knows how to build brands, he will make brands!),” Afridi said.

Watch:

Afridi requested that Akhtar refrain from editing a particular segment of the video, as it was intended for the Rawalpindi Express YouTube channel. Akhtar, in turn, expressed his belief that they could have been successful film stars if not for their cricket careers. However, Afridi disagreed, stating that he was content with his life as a cricketer. Akhtar quickly added that he would do anything for money, as long as it was ethical.

In the upcoming final league stage game, Asia Lions will face off against World Giants. This match will serve as a preview of the final, as India Maharajas have already been eliminated from the competition with three losses in four games.
