The guest in question was Nida Yasir, sister of noted Pak cricket journalist Sawera Pasha.
He recently launched his own TV talk show named the ‘The Shoaib Akhtar Show’ on the OTT platform ‘Urduflix’ and a clip from the show featuring model Nida Yasir has gone viral due to the hilariousness of the question Akhtar asked and the answer the model gave.
In a video from the show, Shoaib Akhtar asked Nida Yasir about the year in which Pakistan won the 1992 Cricket World Cup. Hilariously, the guest failed to answer that question.
"In which year did Pakistan win the 1992 World Cup?", Shoaib asked in the video that has been shared on social media. The guest to whom the question was asked looked clueless and even took help from the second guest on the show.

The guest asked Akhtar to repeat his question. However, this time, the Rawalpindi Express changed the question and asked "In which year did Pakistan win the 2009 World Cup."
This time the answer was 1992.

Meanwhile, many fans on social media suspected that this was a scripted moment as the guest in question Nida Yasir is the sister of famous Pakistani cricket journalist Sawera Pasha who is a fixture on Samaa TV and runs a YouTube channel, Cricast with husband Syed Ali Imran.
She is also known for her previous gaffe when it comes to sport, as in 2016, she made some huge errors while talking to students from National University of Sciences and Technology to her show ‘Good Morning Pakistan’, who had made an electric Formula 1 racing car for a US-based competition.
Yasir, however, seemed to have misunderstood the meaning of ‘Formula 1’, and asked questions like “How many people can be seated in the car?” and after being explained about Formula 1, she asked "right now you have started with a small, one-seater car.”
Here are some of the reactions:
