Pakistan's Akmal brothers - Kamran and Umar - have always been popular on social media. Not for the right reasons, though. While Umar has a rich history of getting trolled for his rather ridiculous statements, Kamran has tickled the funny bone of innumerable fans on both sides of the border for his wicket-keeping skills.
Recently, Kamran was once again the butt of jokes on Twitter after he received the 'Best Wicket-keeper Award in domestic cricket' by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).
"Imam-ul-Haq receiving the award on Kamran Akmal’s behalf for the Best Wicket-keeper Award in domestic cricket," the PCB wrote on its official Twitter handle.
Here's the tweet
Now, not just in India, fans in Pakistan too are not huge admirers of Kamran's ability with the gloves. It didn't take long for netizens to start trolling Kamran, questioning the PCB's judgement while deciding the awardees.
Here are some tweets
Among other awards given out by the PCB, opener Fakhar Zaman, who recently became the first batsman from his country to score a double-century in ODI cricket, was given the Special Award for Outstanding Performance.
Pakistan captain Sarfraz Ahmed was handed the Imtiaz Ahmed Spirit Award along with Rs 1 million cash prize by PCB. Muhammad Abbas won the Best Test Bowlers award, while Hasan Ali was announced as the Best ODI Bowler. Middle-order batsman Babar Azam got the Best T20I Player award, with Faheem Ashraf being declared the Best Emerging Player.
