What was Umar Akmal thinking posting THAT on Twitter?

Every once a while something bizarre happens on Twitter and everyone is caught up in the storm. This time, a true Pakistani cricket legend, Mr. Umar Akmal was the pioneer of the Twitter frenzy. Umer Akmal, was traveling to Karachi with his team’s assistant coach and former Pakistani all-rounder Abdul Razzak. He is playing for the Quetta Gladiators in the Pakistan Super League 2020 and was on the way to attend the opening ceremony when he posted the weirdest caption on Twitter. “Mother from another brother.” The caption was accompanied by a selfie of himself with his coach. The social media army immediately retweeted the post and in a few hours, it was all over the internet. What was Umar Akmal thinking?

Following the chaos, The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) declared that Umar Akmal had been suspended with immediate effect under its anti-corruption code. While some oppose such harsh treatment for a silly mistake, others say that Umar Akmals posts are mostly always weird. The attention he gets fuels his popularity. In this digital world, the rule that no publicity is bad publicity, has taken on a new meaning. Umar Akmal has paid the price for his ‘mistake’ as everyone is trolling him and making fun of his writing skills.

Some of the funniest responses to Akmal’s caption as tweeted by local users are:

If being crime is handsome then arrest me.

Normal Person: Don’t Bite The Hand That Feeds You. Umar Akmal: Don’t Feed The Hand That Bites You.

Policy is the best honesty.

If you are free at something, never do it for good.

If opportunity doesn’t door, build a knock.

Umar Akmal has deleted the post now but it definitely is too late.
