Ramiz Raja brutally trolled, Twitter flooded with memes after lights, mics malfunction at PSL 8 draft

Pakistan Super League (PSL) season 8 draft was held on Thursday, with plenty of star names from across the border, and all over the world set to go under the hammer. However, as it turned out, lights and mics malfunctioned during the event, due to some production failure. 

Fans from Pakistan and those across the border in India took notice of the production failure, as they mocked Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chief, Ramiz Raja, for the unfortunate turn of events. 

While the lights did return and the draft resumed as usual fans decided to troll Raja as they compared the PSL8 draft to that of the Indian Premier League (IPL) auctions, while some others trolled the PCB chief using the Rawalpindi pitch which the ICC recently rated as 'below average'.
