Ramiz Raja's Awkward Silence: Crowd Ignores BPL Toss Call
19 Jan
Summary
- Ramiz Raja's plea for crowd noise at a BPL match went unanswered.
- Social media users found the moment awkward, some calling it cringe-worthy.
- Fans defended Raja, citing potential microphone issues or late stadium entry.
Former Pakistan captain Ramiz Raja experienced an awkward moment during a recent Bangladesh Premier League match when a crowd failed to respond to his request for noise. While hosting the toss, Raja, a well-known commentator, turned to the spectators and asked them to cheer, but only a few faint claps were audible.
The brief clip of the unusual silence spread rapidly across social media platforms like Instagram and X. Many users found the situation embarrassing, with some users labeling it 'cringe-worthy.' The video quickly became a talking point among cricket enthusiasts globally.
However, some fans defended Raja, attributing the lack of response to potential issues with stadium microphone sensitivity in capturing crowd noise. Others suggested that the toss typically occurs before the stadium is full, leading to lower crowd energy. It was also noted that the crowd might not have clearly heard his request.
