Former Pakistan skipper Wasim Akram has hit back at the trolls by swimming in a three-piece suit. Last year, he was trolled by the netizens as he was seen swimming without a shirt. On April 15, Akram uploaded a video of him in the pool wearing his suit. The former skipper hit back at the trolls, who questioned him on his shirtless pool picture, saying the people should be happy now.
“Last year, I think. I posted a video while swimming in the pool. But, the people criticised me that I am swimming without wearing a shirt,” he said in a video shared on his Instagram account.
“So be happy. I am swimming in a three-piece suit,” Wasim said while referring to last year’s post and today’s one.
