A day after he was caught on camera fat shamming Sarfaraz Ahmed, the unidentified fan of the Pakistan cricket team has issued an apology to the skipper on Twitter.
The man, whose identity is still to be known, on Friday, tried to take a picture with Sarfaraz, something that the Pakistan skipper obliged to. But it turned out that he was trying to capture a video fat shamming the 31-year-old cricketer, who was seen with his son in the hotel lobby. “Brother, why are you as fat as a pig? Why don’t try dieting?” the offender was seen asking Sarfaraz Ahmed in the video.
No manners. No respect. Absolutely disgraceful behaviour. Yes the performances have not been good but the players don't deserve such abuse #CWC19 pic.twitter.com/o8rMNTVGXI

He said that the Pakistani skipper walked up to him after the video was shot and demanded him to delete the video, something he did without a second thought. He concluded by saying even he is a Pakistani and didn't realise the outcome of the incident will turn out to be like this.
