If there’s one thing Pakistan cricket guarantees besides unpredictable matches, it’s Ramiz Raja’s commentary fireworks. Day 2 of the Lahore Test against South Africa had everything: wickets, collapses, and, of course, Ramiz’s “unfiltered” humour. While spinner Noman Ali was busy dismantling the Proteas with a brilliant 6/112, Ramiz was setting social media ablaze for a completely different reason his “fashion review.”

The Sunglasses Saga

It all started when Noman showed up sporting shiny new sunglasses. Ramiz couldn’t resist:

“He’s wearing a fancy pair of glasses, Noman Ali. Looks like welding glasses!”
And just like that, cricket Twitter exploded. Memes flooded timelines faster than a T20 powerplay. Some fans laughed, others cried foul — but everyone was talking about Ramiz.

The ‘Drama Karega’ Moment

Not done yet, Ramiz went full sequel mode with another viral gem. When Babar Azam challenged an umpire’s call, Ramiz was caught saying, “Ye out hoga to drama karega.” The internet promptly split into two camps: Team Sense of Humour and Team Offended Nation.

Meanwhile, On the Field…

Babar scored 23 and 42, Noman spun magic, and Pakistan folded for 378 and 167. South Africa now need 277 runs to win. But as far as the internet’s concerned, Ramiz Raja’s commentary has already won the day,turning a tense Test into the best comedy special of the season.
