January 29 was host to some great sporting events including the Australian Open final between two of the greatest tennis players of modern era, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer. The whole world cherished the two legends going head to head for the 35th time except for the Pakistani viewers who unfortunately didn’t have a single broadcaster for the tournament.
Pakistani media hogs the limelight for all the wrong issues and this recent story was no different either. When the whole world was living the magic spread by two geniuses, Nadal and Federer, Pakistani fans were busy cursing their media for not broadcasting the epic finale. Pakistani Sport channel did not bother about the broadcasting rights of Australian Open and thus remained left out of the tournament official broadcasters list.
Pakistan has many sports lovers who were craving to get a glimpse of what was going on at the Rod Lever Arena in Melbourne. One such fan was a former cricketer of Pakistan, Ramiz Raja, who is himself a famous commentator. He was gutted to know that not a single channel was broadcasting the match in Pakistan and thus took to Twitter to express his agony.
This is what Ramiz Raja tweeted about the Pakistani Sports Channels!
Unbelievable: We are such a sports unfriendly nation that no channel showed the iconic Federer Nadal Australian Open final..shameful ..

Ramiz Raja thought he has just expressed himself but forgot that the twitter community from the neighbouring was just behind him to get the troll war started. After that tweet, twitter Trolls started hitting hard at Ramiz Raja leaving the former Pakistani Batsman completely stumped. Trolls went out all guns blazing and refused to stop at any cost.
This is how twitter hit back at Ramiz Raja
