Pakistan Star Has "12 Brothers, 4 Sisters": Wasim Akram's Commentary Trivia Stumps England Great
This surprising fact caught Vaughan off guard, leading to a humorous exchange between the two commentators:
During the first T20I between Pakistan and Australia, a fascinating piece of trivia shared by Pakistan cricket legend Wasim Akram left England’s former cricket captain Michael Vaughan stunned. The duo was discussing Pakistan cricketer Kamran Ghulam when Akram revealed that Ghulam comes from a large family—he is the 11th of 12 brothers and has 4 sisters, making it a total of 16 siblings.
This surprising fact caught Vaughan off guard, leading to a humorous exchange between the two commentators:
Wasim Akram: "Kamran Ghulam, comes from a big family, he is the 11th of 12 brothers and 4 sisters. Yup." Michael Vaughan: "16 kids. Wow! What's the age gap, that's of interest."
The conversation quickly went viral on social media, highlighting Akram’s casual yet intriguing commentary style. The moment provided a light-hearted break from the intense action on the field, which saw Australia dismiss Pakistan for 203 runs in the first match of their three-match series.
While the trivia about Ghulam’s large family may have stolen the spotlight for a moment, the match itself was full of action. Mitchell Starc’s brilliant 3-33 performance helped Australia bowl Pakistan out, despite a valiant 44 from Pakistan's newly appointed skipper Mohammad Rizwan.
