Venkatesh Prasad slams Waqar Younis for ‘jihadi mindset’ after his ‘namaz in front of Hindus' remark

Venkatesh Prasad lashes out at former Pakistani cricketer Waqar Younis for his comments on Mohammad Rizwan reciting namaz in front of Hindus during India vs Pakistan T20 WC match.

Former India pacer Venkatesh Prasad slammed former Pakistan cricketer Waqar Younis for his controversial statement that opener Mohammad Rizwan offering namaz “in front of Hindus was very special to him".

While cricket fans across both nations have lauded Pakistan's dominant performance against India in their opening T20 World Cup match, former pacer Waqar finding joy in something beyond cricket has left fans unimpressed.

"The manner in which Babar and Rizwan batted, the strike-rotation, the look on their faces, it was amazing. The best thing, what Rizwan did, Mashalla, he offered the Namaz on the ground surrounded by Hindus, that was really something very special for me," said Waqar on ARY News.
