Pakistan cricket fans were upset because the former pacer didn’t follow the advice given by former Pakistan skipper and chief selector Shahid Afridi. After dismissing Shai Hope, Amir pulled off a celebration, which looked obscene especially to Pakistani sentiments.
The left-arm pacer was mimicking famous WWE superstar Triple H’s signature celebration. The video of the celebration has gone viral on social media.
Afridi had earlier said that he had a chat with Amir and asked him to not pull off such acts on the field. The former Pakistan all-rounder asked the pacer not to do any harm to the respect he had earned over the years.
