Twitter Is Blasted with Epic Reactions over the PM Awarding 1 Crore to Players and of course, Shehzad’s Awkward Selfie

Yesterday, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif dressed the winning squad of 2017 ICC Champions Trophy with cash prizes and honors. Each and every member of the squad was rewarded with 10 million rupees for their performances and efforts leading to a celebrated victory in the final. Besides players, chief selector Inzamam-ul-Haq was also rewarded with a cash prize for his services, joining up a perfect squad for every match.

All eyes were on PM Nawaz Sharif as he delivered a speech and gave away the prizes to each player by turn. His presence was marked in honor and respect. But the greater aspect of the evening remained what happened on the other side. Pakistanis took to social media with their reactions to every bit of detail and of course, they did not hold back the banter. Ahmed Shehzad, Wahab Riaz, even the Prime Minister himself was the center of attention, the butt of all jokes that followed.

Pakistanis didn’t spare anyone; here are our people at their very best…

The bigger question is…

Hamza being Hamza

NO CHILL

SRSLY

OH GOD

A day doesn’t pass without our Prime Minister getting trolled. Neither does it pass without Ahmed Shehzad getting trolled. In the very case of Shehzad, it’s inevitable that every mention or appearance of him would turn into a troll. It’s really hard being Ahmed Shehzad.

Well, congratulations to our team players for receiving their cash prizes. They simply did everything to deserve honor and our respect. Congratulations to Sarfraz Ahmed over his appointment has Test cricket captain. Let’s hope this incredible bunch of lads stay united under the leadership of our captain and continue to bag big victories such as the bygone one.
