Former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra has taken a sharp dig at Pakistan after videos of unusual warm-up exercises by Pakistan women's players went viral on social media. He also recalled Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan’s funny warm-up and questioned the training methods.
He said the strange drills had given fans plenty of reasons to make jokes and memes. Chopra also turned his attention to the ongoing controversy surrounding Mohammad Rizwan, who is facing a cybercrime investigation in Pakistan. Earlier this, Mohsin Naqvi’s PCB banned Pakistan cricketers from playing Afghanistan Premier League.
Earlier this year, Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan caught the attention during a pre-match warm-up session. The two Pakistani batters were seen performing exaggerated stretching exercises, including wide stances, rhythmic arm rotations, and synchronized lower-body movements.
The video quickly went viral, with fans making memes and copying their unusual movements. Chopra said the players were simply following instructions from their physios and trainers, who had introduced the new exercises.
However, he felt the players should have been more careful because the entire world was watching them. Amid this, India-Pakistan tension impacts WCL 2026 as Pakistan Champions removed.
Aakash Chopra said in a video posted on his YouTube channel, "Whether we do something or not, you keep giving us content. And you keep giving us a chance to laugh. I have to feel for the players. But when the matter ends, you must have learned something. The world is watching. It's a shame. Don't do this.”
Aakash Chopra mocks Pakistan Women’s viral workout
Chopra also reacted to another viral video featuring four Pakistani women's cricketers performing an unusual group exercise. The players were locked together in an interlocking human-chain formation, holding each other's limbs and forming a rolling wheel-like structure.
The former India opener questioned, "What kind of exercise is this?” and called it a complete "nonsense." Chopra then hilariously compared Pakistan's training methods with the world's progress in space exploration, saying that while countries like India were reaching the Moon and Mars, Pakistan's cricket training appeared to be stuck in the past.
Chopra further shared his views by saying, "I mean, Duniya chaand Par pahunch rahi hain. Duniya Marsh par pahunch rahi hain, lekin aap wahin ke wahin atke hue hain. (The world is reaching the Moon and Mars, but you are still stuck in the same place). See, Chaand par jaakar jhanda lagana aur Jhande par chaand lagana, sirf etna hi antar hain India aur Pakistan me (Putting a flag on the moon and putting the moon on the flag is the only difference).”
The cricket pandit has further criticized Pakistan for repeatedly bringing India into discussions at international organizations without looking at its own problems.
He added, “Then go to the UNGA. Chant India, India. Talk about India on everything. Apne gireban me mat jhaanko (do not have a look at yourself before pointing fingers at others). That is typical Pakistan for you. Honestly. And what's happening with cricket? I don't even talk about it.”
Aakash Chopra raises questions over Mohammad Rizwan probe
Chopra then turned his attention to the controversy surrounding Mohammad Rizwan, who has been under investigation by Pakistan's National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA). Rizwan's mobile phone was seized by the PCB security team at around 1 am in a London hotel lobby after the Lord's Test and was later forwarded to the NCCIA.
The agency is examining suspected financial transactions, online gambling connections, and possible dressing-room information leaks. Chopra noted that Imam-ul-Haq had also faced scrutiny in the same controversy, but his name is not seen anywhere now.
He said, “Rizwan is all over the news; in which he fixed the match, he did corruption. Imam-ul-Haq was also in the same boat, but suddenly he disappeared. There is only focus on Rizwan. He is going to the court. They're not letting him play. They're not letting him do a press conference. And all of that is happening. Again, typical Pakistan cricket is unfolding in Pakistan.”
Notably, the Pakistan wicketkeeper-batter has also approached the ICC Anti-Corruption Unit, questioning whether the seizure followed the required international procedures. His legal battle continued when the Lahore High Court dismissed his petition challenging the NCCIA's jurisdiction and directed him to cooperate with the investigation.
