Epitomizing a ‘sour loser’, Ramiz Raja recently lashed out at a journalist, going as far as snatching his phone and saying, “Aap to India se honge”. The unprofessional side of the PCB chief was in full display after Pakistan lost to Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup 2022 final. Earlier on Sunday, September 11, Sri Lanka claimed its sixth ever Asia Cup, defeating Pakistan by a good margin of 23 runs.

It was an evening to look forward to for Sri Lankan fans and players, as the team played in unison, and gave its citizens a much-needed relief amid all the ongoing turmoil. However, for Pakistan, it was another heartbreaking final. And its board chairman Ramiz Raja made no efforts to hide it.

The PCB chief, who was also a phenomenal player for his side, lost his cool as he made his way out of the stadium. When a journalist asked Raja what message would he like to give to the people of Pakistan, Raja replied with a shocking brashness.

“Aap India se honge? Aap to bade khush honge? (You must be from India? You must be very happy then?)”, he was quoted saying.

The PCB chief further went on to snatch the journalist’s phone in the heat of the moment, only to give it right away.
