[Saba Sports News] Legendary Pakistan cricketers Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis, renowned for their pace on the field, have seamlessly transitioned into roles as commentators and coaches. Currently involved in the T20 World Cup 2024 as broadcasters and analysts, it was a recent off-field moment that grabbed the internet’s attention.
In a viral video, Akram and Younis, alongside popular host and artist Fakhr E Alam, were seen enjoying a cup of tea. They humorously referred to their tea break as a “mid-life crisis,” bringing smiles to many faces. The video gained traction due to their perfect lip-sync to the viral song “Bado Badi” by British Pakistani singer Chahat Fateh Ali Khan, with their spot-on expressions making the clip an instant hit.
“Bado Badi” went viral last month with its unconventional style and catchy music, amassing 28 million views before being removed from YouTube due to a copyright claim. The melody was found to resemble “Akh Lari Bado Badi,” a classic song by Noor Jehan from the 1973 film “Banarasi Thug.”
Despite its removal, the song inspired numerous memes and Instagram reels. Khan re-uploaded it with a new video on Instagram, reigniting its viral status.
Fans have been thrilled to see their favorite cricket legends engaging in such light-hearted fun. The video continues to receive a barrage of likes and comments, proving these cricket icons remain popular off the field.
