Pakistan Table Tennis Coach Caught Sleeping on the Job… Literally [Video]

The Pakistan table tennis coach was in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons during a recent mixed doubles match against China. As his team faced a formidable Chinese duo, the coach was caught napping on the bench, while his team lost in a one-sided contest.

The match, part of an international tournament, saw the Chinese team delivering a masterclass in table tennis, leaving the Pakistani players scrambling to keep up. However, it wasn’t just the players who were caught off guard. A video clip of the Pakistan table tennis coach, blissfully asleep while sitting upright on the bench, quickly went viral on social media.

As the match concluded with a decisive victory for the Chinese team, the players approached the bench for the customary post-match handshakes. It was at this point that the Chinese duo awkwardly attempted to rouse the dozing coach. After a few gentle nudges, the coach awoke, momentarily disoriented, before graciously shaking hands with the bemused Chinese players.

Meanwhile, the Pakistani team, having endured a thorough thrashing, walked over to join the post-match proceedings. Their expressions suggested a mix of resignation and bemusement, as they witnessed their coach’s unexpected nap become the talk of the tournament.

The incident has sparked a flurry of humorous commentary online, with one user quipping, “Looks like the coach was dreaming of a comeback!” Another joked, “At least someone from the team got some rest during the match.”
