Pakistan are all set to host Sri Lanka in a limited-overs series, comprising three ODIs and as many T20Is from September 27 to October 9.

Ahead of the first ODI in Karachi, Pakistan’s newly appointed head coach cum chief selector, Misbah ul Haq, addressed the press conference on Wednesday (September 25) and took a reporter to task for his question on national team’s “Tuk Tuk” batting approach.

The question from the reporter was: “There has been more of tuk tuk and less of hard hitting. There have been centuries scored off 235 balls. Even when you batted, there was a notion that you do more of tuk tuk and less hard hitting. As the new head coach and batting coach, do you have a plan to change this approach or will the team continue doing tuk tuk?”

Responding to the question, Misbah said, "In my opinion, there is a lot of stress on tuk tuk in your question."

Misbah's response stunned the reporter and cracked up the rest at the press conference as he further continued: “Looks like you didn’t get a car today or maybe someone has asked you to try and irritate the coach.”

Here’s the video:

On September 4, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) named Misbah as national team's next head coach cum chief selector for a three-year-long term.

Misbah's appointment in a rare of its kind duel role was made in line with PCB’s commitment to ensure transparency, accountability and job clarity at all levels.

He pipped the likes of Dean Jones, Mohsin Khan and Courtney Walsh to secure this job after being unanimously chosen by five-member panel that comprising Intikhab Alam, Bazid Khan, Asad Ali Khan, Wasim Khan and Zakir Khan.

Legendary fast bowler Waqar Younis has also been named the side's bowling coach for the same duration.
