Hamilton: Pakistan all-rounder Iftikhar Ahmed got hot from a fan for calling him chachu (uncle). Pakistan cricket team captain Babar Azam once gave the name Chachu to Iftikhar. The Pakistani all-rounder is often referred to as Chachu by his teammates and fans of the Pakistan team. During the second Twenty20 match once morest New Zealand at the Seddon Park Stadium, a fan called the Pakistan player Chachu.

This was while the player was fielding near the boundary line. Iftikhar asked not to call him Chachu. Although the fan claimed to be Iftikhar’s fan, the Pakistani star ignored it. Iftikhar’s next response was to keep quiet. But later, the selfie taken by Iftikhar with the same fan is also circulating on the X platform.

In the second Twenty20, New Zealand beat Pakistan by 21 runs. With this, New Zealand took a 2-0 lead in the five-match series. If they win the next game, the hosts can clinch the series. New Zealand will play the next matches of the series without Kane Williamson who was injured the other day. The next match in the series is in Dunedin on Wednesday.
