In a scene that has left the internet in stitches, Pakistani cricketers were caught on camera celebrating teammate Azam Khan’s successful ascent of a hill. The hilarious incident took place during a high-altitude training session in Kakul, Abbottabad.
The video shows the Pakistani team already assembled at the peak of the hill when they erupt in cheers, celebrating what appears to be a monumental achievement. The camera then pans to Azam Khan, who is seen slowly but surely making his way up the final incline. All the likes of Iftikhar Ahmed, Shadab Khan and Saim Ayub were seen taking a playful jibe at their wicket-keeper.
This light-hearted moment has gone viral on social media. Many found humor in the gentle trolling of Khan, who is known to not be the fittest cricketer on the international stage.
