Pakistan middle-order batter Iftikhar Ahmed was brutally trolled for his no-look shot during the Global T20 Canada 2024 match between the Bangla Tigers Mississauga and the Montreal Tigers. Iftikhar Ahmed played the stylish no-look shot; however, he failed to clear the boundary line in the recent T20 match.
Iftikhar Ahmed is not going through a difficult phase of his cricketing career at the moment. Iftikhar, known for hitting massive sixes, is now finding it difficult to clear the boundary in recent times in competitive cricket. The middle-order batter’s recent failures have put his international cricket career in danger.
Ahmed failed to make an impact in the T20 World Cup 2024, where Pakistan was eliminated from the group stage. Iftikhar received an NOC from the PCB to participate in the Global T20 Canada despite his lackluster performance. Notably, Pakistan denied NOCs to Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, and Shaheen Afridi.
