Independence Day is a unique festival that is observed by many countries, but it is especially significant in India and Pakistan. While India observes the day on August 15, Pakistan observes it a day earlier.
Pakistan is commemorating its independence today, August 14th. Pakistani cricketers and celebrities are congratulating the country on its independence on social media in this scenario, however Kamran Akmal congratulated incorrectly and received a lot of backlash on Twitter.
Kamran Akmal, Pakistan's wicketkeeper-batsman, recently took to social media to greet his supporters on the auspicious day. He did, however, misspell the word "independence" unintentionally. Consequently, netizens took a note of him, resulting in him getting trolled on social media. One user wrote, Brother, if the British see it, then they will make you a slave.
Let us remind you that this isn't the first time Kamran Akmal has been mocked over incorrect spelling on Twitter. He had been making fun of him on social media even before this.
Check out a few of the reactions here:
In November 2002, Kamran Akmal made his international debut in a Test match in Harare Sports Club, which Pakistan won. Kamran Akmal has accumulated 2648 runs in 53 Tests, including six hundreds, and 2924 runs in 137 One-Day Internationals, including five centuries. Kamran Akmal has scored 704 runs in T20 Internationals. As a wicket-keeper, he has 206, 169, and 52 dismissals in Tests, ODIs, and T20Is respectively.
When Kamran Akmal first entered the international scene, he was seen as a promising player for Pakistan cricket. However, due to his prowess as a keeper and for a variety of other reasons, he became a laughing stock all over the Internet over time. Kamran Akmal last appeared for Pakistan against the West Indies in 2017.
It has been almost four years since the Lahore stumper last wore the Pakistan shirt, and at the age of 39, it is highly unlikely that he will be considered for a comeback to the national side by the Pakistan Cricket Board or the team management.
