Pakistan’s cricket legend Wasim Akram is in the spotlight for an unexpected reason, after revealing how much money he spends on his pet cat.
While on commentary duty for the ODI series between Pakistan and Australia in Australia, Akram shared a story that left the sports world—and his fellow commentators—in stitches.
In an amusing anecdote during a live broadcast, Wasim Akram revealed a jaw-dropping expense he incurred for his cat’s haircut. The cost? A whopping 1,000 Australian dollars—roughly 185,000 Pakistani rupees. For perspective, that’s enough to snag a brand-new iPhone back home!
Akram, clearly caught off guard by the exorbitant price tag, humorously broke down the cost, which was much more than he bargained for. The grooming session was far from a typical cut-and-comb; it involved a full medical procedure including anesthesia and post-procedure care.
“For this kind of money, you could probably get 200 cats groomed in Pakistan!” he joked.
Here’s how the unusual bill broke down, as Akram detailed it on air:
– 105 AUD for a medical check-up
– 305 AUD for anesthesia
– 40 AUD for the actual haircut
– 120 AUD for post-procedure care
– 251 AUD for a cardio test
Wasim Akram’s light-hearted account of his high-maintenance feline certainly added a surprising twist to the commentary box, leaving fans and commentators alike chuckling at the unexpected “price of beauty” for a cricket legend’s cat!
