Renowned for his comedic singing style that has garnered attention on social media worldwide, Chahat Fateh Ali Khan has extended some playful yet insightful advice to cricketers regarding their performance.
In a conversation with a reporter from a private television channel, Chahat raised concerns about the national team’s recent performances, stating, “Our team lost to the USA in the T20 World Cup and now to Bangladesh! I think the cricketers have stopped drinking milk.”
He reminisced about his cricketing days, saying, “When I played cricket, I would drink milk twice a day, which helped me stay fit. My advice to the cricketers is to consume yogurt, fruits, and milk.”
Chahat acknowledged that every team experiences a decline at some point, recalling how the Indian team struggled in the past but now plays exceptionally well. He expressed confusion regarding the morale of the Pakistan team, saying, “I don’t know if it’s a lack of morale or some other reason. Whatever cricketers do, they should do it with joy, and whatever fate has in store will happen.”
Chahat Fateh Ali Khan, whose real name is Kashif Rana, has a background as a first-class cricketer in Pakistan. He was part of the Lahore team during the 1983 and 1984 seasons of the country’s premier domestic tournament, the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy, where he played two first-class matches, scoring 16 runs in three innings.
Later, he moved to the UK in search of better opportunities, where he continued to play club cricket for 12 years. His unique blend of humor and cricketing experience adds a refreshing perspective to the ongoing discussions about the national team’s performance.
