Following Pakistan’s defeat to Zimbabwe, a Facebook page claiming to be run by Pak Bean (Mr. Bean Pakistan) hilariously hinted on Friday that Babar Azam can only win the T20i World Cup now if he resorts to stealing it.
He wrote on his Facebook page:
Babar and his team should do this rather than criticizing me on going to Zimbabwe. The only way left to bring trophy Pakistan.
The Pakistani comedian shared a clip of another viral celebrity (the Silent Screaming Molvi) who urged Babar to sneak into the ICC office and take the coveted trophy back with him to Pakistan.
Who is Pak Bean?
The Pakistani Mr. Bean (or Pak Bean) is a comedian by the name of Muhammad Asif. He is originally from Kharadar, Karachi, and became a viral celebrity due to his uncanny resemblance with the British sitcom character.
Asif went on to appear as Mr. Bean in a series of commercials for Habib Bank Limited (HBL).
In 2016, Pakistan sent Asif to perform at the Harare Agricultural Show as the iconic character. Ironically, the Zimbabweans thought he was the real Mr. Bean as people rushed over to take pictures with him.
Before Pakistan’s match, a Zimbabwean tweep accused Pakistan of scamming the African nation and stealing their money.
What started out as a joke later become the catalyst for an all-new ‘rivalry’ between the two nations. In fact, Pak Bean even got the two heads of state for Zimbabwe and Pakistan into a Twitter feud.
