When someone is trolled mercilessly on social media, there are only two things he/she can do. Either let the fire go out on its own or play with it to merge as a winner. However, the latter option can backfire if you couldn’t come up with a crackerjack response.
As for the Pakistani journo, Fazeela Saba, who became a fan favorite after a photo-op with West Indies player Darren Sammy, she seems like the one to play with fire and without any doubt, she possesses a great acumen too.
For the unknown, Fazeela Saba has lately become an internet sensation due to her unquestionable looks as well as a great cricketing savoir-faire with her proactive following of sports. A sports anchor, writer, analyst and an active social media speaker, Fazeela Saba has been on a roll, as her fan following hasn’t ceased to increase with every passing day.
She has almost 39K followers and Twitter and one can easily deduce that Fazeela Saba knows more than a thing or two about the game, which is a rare combination to find.
With Pakistani cricket witnessing new highs in the International cricket since lifting the 2017 Champions Trophy and defeating Indian in the finals, the nation has been receiving a lot of attention from all around the globe. With the team bagging new achievement, Saba, who is fast becoming the mascot for the squad, too has grabbed a lot of attention.
One such incident happened after the 3rd Pakistan vs Sri Lanka ODI in which Imam-ul-Haq, the Pakistani opener, scored a century on his debut, gradually taking his team to the victory as well as the series title.
Imam-ul-Haq’s ODI century was even more special as he became the only second Pakistani and 13th overall to achieve this feat.
With a thumping debut on the International circuit, Imam’s fan following witnessed a drastic rise which included the journalist, Fazeela Saba.
She went on appreciating the young lad through her Twitter handle and in what was to be just a warm congratulation, Imam-ul-Haq’s reply turned it into a troll.
Now, from nowhere does Saba deserved this title but the reply did hold the ingredients of a funny troll that the Pakistani journalist didn’t see coming.
With so much attention and social media leaving no opportunity to troll her, one thing was for sure, Fazeela Saba had a masters stroke coming and when it did, it turned out to be one of the most epic responses in the history of ‘Twitter Trolls’.
Acceptance is the greatest way to move ahead.
This tweet implies the maturity of Fazeela Saba as a social media speaker and we can only fathom what she has in store for us in the future.
As for Imam-ul-Haq, he could become one of the finest finds for Pakistan Cricket as in the 3 matches that he has played, he scored a total of 147 runs at an average of 73.50, including the century on his debut.
Pakistan Cricket, on the other hand, is hot on heels after whitewashing t6he Sri Lankans by 5-0 in the ODI series, which was their sixth white-wash ever.
P.S If you want to know more about Fazeela Saba, she is coming up with one of the biggest ever sports Radio show at Suno FM89.4.
