Wasim Akram, former Pakistan captain, savaged a fan on live air, leaving his fellow panelists in stitches. Akram recently criticized the Pakistan cricket team for its early elimination from the Champions Trophy on home grounds.  

Following defeats to New Zealand and India in the group stage, Akram blasted Pakistan's players for poor diet. He recalled the Pakistani players gorging on a full tray of bananas during one of the drinks break and stated that even monkeys don’t eat so many bananas.

"I think it was the first or second drinks break, and there was a plate full of bananas for the players. Itne kele toh bandar bhi nahi khaate (Even monkeys don't eat so many bananas). And it's their food. Had it been our captain Imran Khan, he would have given us a beating over it," Akram said during a discussion on Ten Sports.

However, a fan lashed out at Akram for mocking the players over their diet, labeling his analysis as 'stupid'.

"Bring an end to this stupidity in the name of analysis. Talk cricket, not bananas or movie dialogues. This is embarrassing," the fan’s message questioning Akram's remarks was read by the anchor.

However, Akram had an apt response for the fan.

"Sir, I feel for your kids. You must be beating them with sticks," Akram responded.

Following Pakistan's Champions Trophy collapse, Akram made it clear that he was not interested in a permanent coaching job with the Pakistan team because of his other commitments.

"But when have I ever said I am not available to help the players, the board in any other way free of cost. Having seen the way some of our former players, especially Waqar Younis, have been treated in the past when they were with the team and board, I don't want that sort of disrespect at my age," Akram said.
