Iftikhar Ahmed Loses Cool After Fan Calls Him ‘Chachu’ In NZ vs PAK 2nd T20I- WATCH
NZ vs PAK: Pakistan's Iftikhar Ahmed was not pleased when a fan called him 'chachu' while he was standing near the boundary ropes during the second T20I against New Zealand.
NZ vs PAK: Pakistan all-rounder Iftikhar Ahmed did not seem very pleased when a fan at the Seddon Park in Hamilton shouted 'Chachu' while he was fielding in the deep during the second T20I against New Zealand. Even though fans chanting such names is not new, seems like Iftikhar had enough of it and decided to confront the fan, telling him not to remain silent.
In a video which has now gone viral on social media, the Pakistan cricketer could be seen asking the fan not to use 'Chachu' to address him. Even though the person can be heard saying that he was a fan, but the cricketer asked him to keep quiet. "Khamosh rahiye," he says. New Zealand ended up winning this contest.

NZ Takes 2-0 Lead In 5-Match Series
Talking about the series, the Kiwis have taken a 2-0 lead in the five-match series by winning the first two T20Is of the bilateral arrangements. In the Hamilton T20I, New Zealand posted 194/8 in their 20 overs with the help of Finn Allen's quickfire half-century. In the run chase, even though Pakistan's Babar Azam and Fakhar Zaman responded with half-centuries, Pakistan fell short by 21 runs with Adam Milne emerging as the pick of the bowlers, returning with figures of 4/44 in his 4 overs.
Talking about Iftikhar, the match wasn't the best one for him as far as individial performance is concerned as he could only make 4 runs off 8 deliveries while he did not get an opportunity to prove his utility with the ball. The third match of the series will be played at the University Oval ground in Dunedin, New Zealand.
