NEW DELHI: Pakistan batter Sahibzada Farhan became a laughing stock on social media, making a mockery of himself by picking Ahmed Shehzad over legendary cricketers like Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, Rohit Sharma and Saeed Anwar, a choice that left everyone amazed.

In a video that went viral on social media, Farhan was asked to choose between Ahmed Shehzad and other players during a rapid-fire round. What left everyone baffled was his repeated selection of Shehzad over the likes of Tendulkar, Sehwag, Rohit and Anwar.

Farhan's bizarre choice of picking Shehzad did not go down well with former Pakistan players Basit Ali and Kamran Akmal, who struggled to come to terms with what they had just heard.

"This is fake. Hundred per cent fake. Sahibzada Farhan has not gone mad so far that he picks Ahmed Shehzad over Sachin Tendulkar. I plead with you to stop this topic," said Ali on his YouTube channel 'The Game Plan'.

"I promise you all, whenever I meet Sahibzada, I will ask him, 'Were you in your senses that day?' I promise. Whoever asks you a question regarding Sahibzada's pick, tell him that Basit Ali and Kamran Akmal apologise for it, he added."

Akmal was left in splits on the show, unable to contain his laughter at Farhan's outrageous remark.

"We ask for forgiveness for Sahibzada's mistake," he said.
