"Mai Bhai Houn?" - Shadab Khan’s Hilarious Reaction When Iftikhar Ahmed Calls Him ‘Bhai’

Pakistan are currently busy playing the T20I tri-series in New Zealand. Ahead of the 20-20 World Cup in Australia, this series will be a great platform for their preparation. However, they lost a home T20I series against England recently. It was a seven-match series which the Men in Green lost at a margin of 4-3. But, the series displayed good quality cricket from both sides. 

In the first four matches, both teams won twice-a-each. Then, in the fifth match, Pakistan won. But, in the last two matches, the visitors outclassed the home team to seal the series. But, now, a video went viral where Shadab Khan and Iftikhar Ahmed had a chat after winning the fifth match of that series. Both of them got involved in a hilarious conversation as the Pakistan Board also shared the full video on Twitter.

Here is the shared video:

Both Iftikhar Ahmed and Shadab Khan took one wicket-a-each in that match against England

Speaking of the video, two spinners opened up on what worked for them in the fifth T20I. Then, Iftikhar Ahmed called him 'Shadab Bhai'. Hearing that, Shadab Khan asked: "Mai Bhai Houn?". However, Iftikhar Ahmed replied: "There is some respect also." Speaking of their age, Shadab Khan is currently 24 years of age while Iftikhar Ahmed is currently 32 years of age.

Hence, being elder by age, Shadab found it funny when Iftikhar called him ‘Bhai’. Speaking about that interview, Iftikhar Ahmed said: “He is younger than me. But, I call him bhai. So, Shadab Bhai told me to hit the deck as the balls were gripping. So, while I came up to bowl, I listened to him and hit the deck hard. It helped me to have some grip on the balls from the wicket.”     

Speaking of that match, England won the toss and asked Pakistan to bat first. Pakistan managed only 145 runs in 19 overs. In reply, England managed only 139 runs for seven wickets in 20 overs. Both Iftikhar Ahmed and Shadab Khan took one wicket-a-each. Mohammad Rizwan won the player of the match award for scoring 63 runs off 48 balls.
