Kiwi Cricketer Ish Sodhi Tries His Hand at Punjabi Commentary, Mistakenly Calls Babar Azam "Babar Zaman"

New Zealand cricketer Ish Sodhi recently showcased his linguistic skills by attempting Punjabi commentary in a blooper reel. The video, shared by Pakistan Cricket's official social media handle, captured Sodhi's humorous commentary on a previous encounter between Pakistan and New Zealand.

Sodhi's commentary focused on his own bowling and that of teammate James Neesham. He humorously narrated his bowling to Pakistani players Fakhar Zaman and Babar Azam. "Fir aya Ish Sodhi aur Fakhar Zaman ne fir chakka mareya, aur nahi, catch hogya, shukar hai Fakhar Zaman out ho gaya, bahut tang karte hai," he said, describing how Zaman hit a six but was eventually caught out.

A light-hearted moment occurred when Sodhi accidentally referred to Babar Azam as "Babar Zaman." "Yeh dekho Babar Zaman ne fir chauka maar diya," he said, meaning "Look, Babar Zaman has hit another boundary." He quickly realized his mistake after being corrected, adding a comedic element to the video.

The Pakistan men's cricket team will face New Zealand in an upcoming T20 international series, part of their preparations for the T20 World Cup in June. The series begins in Rawalpindi on April 18 and is highly anticipated as both teams look to fine-tune their squads ahead of the global tournament.

Sodhi's Punjabi commentary has garnered attention on social media, showcasing his playful nature and the camaraderie between the two teams. The upcoming T20 series promises to be an exciting contest, with both Pakistan and New Zealand aiming to make a strong statement ahead of the World Cup.
