Earlier, tense arguments between the two colleagues and national cricketers have set ablaze the internet with supporters from both sides weighing in their arguments, opinions and comments.
Pakistan's former cricket captain Sarfaraz Ahmed fired shots at all-rounder Mohammad Hafeez after he called Rizwan as the ‘No 1 wicketkeeper-batsman.’
Soon after the reaction by the former captain, social media turned into a war zone between fans of Mohammad Hafeez and Sarfaraz Ahmed with ‘Hafeez’ and ‘Sarfaraz’ also trending on Twitter.
It all started when Mohammad Hafeez in his tweet said: “Congratulations @iMRizwanPak on scoring T20 Hundred points. U r a Star shining star Glowing star Wonder how long u need to prove that u r NO1 wicketkeeper/Batsman in Pakistan in all formats of the game. Just asking”

Things took an ugly turn when Sarfaraz Ahmed on Saturday responded by saying: “Hafeez bhai Sb, whoever has played for Pakistan from Imtiaz Ahmed, Wasim Bari, Tasleem Arif to Saleem Yousuf and from Moin Khan, Rashid Latif to Kamran Akmal and even Rizwan right now has always been number ONE for the country and have been respected accordingly.”

Here are some of the comments from the twitteratis:
This type of statement shows that no matter however senior you may be as an international player, ethics, etiquettes and manners don’t necessarily come merely with age. If you are biased and prejudiced, you will continue doing this for no reason.

Would have been better if you had rated him a better opener and batsman then yourself. Imagine you, Hafeez, the once Dale Steyn’s bunny!!

کتنا بغض ہے ان لوگوں میں ۔صرف یہی وجہ ہے جو اس کھیل “ کرکٹ “ کو اب میں دیکھنا پسند نہیں کرتی ۔ یہ پنجابی کرکٹر سوائے تعصب ۔نفرت اور بغض کے اپنے دل میں کچھ نہیں رکھتے ۔اللہ کرے جیسا حال ہاکی کا ہوا ہے وہی کرکٹ کا ہو تاکہ اس منحوس تعصبی کھیل سے بھی قوم کو نجات ملے ۔آمین ثمہ آمین
