If I had not seen it with my own eyes it would have been hard for me to believe that a renowned sportsman and a seasoned politician can comment on the PSL final in such derogatory terms. IMO to call people like Sir Viv Richards and players like Darren Sammy ‘Phateecher’ can only be attributed to jealousy and nothing else.
Even more worrying is the fact that his PTI supporters such as Naeem ul Haq trying to justify Imran’s comments by saying that he was only referring to the unknown players. May be Imran Khan and PTI leaders were never taught by their parents that you don’t insult your guests even if they are your sworn enemies.
Imran Khan is not an idiot nor is he mad. Main problem is that his boot licking supporters have turned him into a demi-god. He can say ‘no wrong’ and can do ‘no wrong’. This has gone to his head and anything that he is not involved with is rubbish.
Imran Khan should hence forth be called Arrogant Khan. Suggest he should read what Habib Jaleb said about the bigot Zia ul Haq.

I dread what would happen if he did in fact become Prime Minister?
