The host responded, “Ye persona aap leke chal rahe hai (You are carrying this persona with you),” highlighting Sajid’s playful swagger during the chat.
Known more for his sharp off-spin and unique wicket celebration, Sajid has quietly built a solid reputation in Pakistan’s red-ball setup. Since making his Test debut in May 2021, he has taken 59 wickets in 12 matches at an average of 27.28.
The amusing comment showcased the lighter side of the cricketer, who also had high praise for his teammates and rivals. He labelled Babar Azam as “the best player in the world” and hailed Indian batting icon Virat Kohli as “the best Indian player ever.”
With his wit and on-field prowess, Sajid Khan continues to entertain — on and off the pitch.
