Pakistani batter, Sarfaraz Ahmed and former cricketer Salman Butt exchange intense comments on social media. Sarfaraz Ahmed passed an extremely critical comment on Salman Butt after the latter criticized the current batter for bad captaincy in the HBL PSL 7 matches.
Sarfaraz Ahmed has been leading the franchise, Quetta Gladiators, for seven years, from the beginning of the Pakistan Super League. For the past few seasons, Quetta Gladiators, have been struggling to put up some impressive performances as they had put up at the beginning of the league.
Moreover, the grumpy and aggressive attitude of Sarfaraz Ahmed with his teammate on-field had been discussed on social media. Salman Butt while discussing the ongoing HBL PSL 7 in one of the online shows said that Sarfaraz should focus on his performance and should leave other players alone.

Butt also said that “Sarfaraz only attracts criticism with his behavior,” adding that “he doesn’t discuss but he imposes his decisions on others”. Salman Butt also praised Muhammad Rizwan and called him the best captain of the HBL PSL. The audience believes this comparison between Sarfaraz and Rizwan was a bit humiliating for the captain of Quetta Gladiator. Perhaps, this also provoked Sarfaraz to give a harsh response to Salman Butt.
Salman Butt: Sarfraz's on-field aggression only garners criticism. He imposes his decisions on his team & pays no heed to any request or advice from his team-mates. He is only making it difficult for himself, needs to relax his team & focus on his own performance.
