Misbah hits back at Ian Chappell for 'harsh comments'
The 36-year-old praised Hafeez for his great captaincy and 72-run man-of-the-match innings. He also gave thumbs up to left-arm pacer Junaid Khan for his incredible return. However, he ended his tweet with a question for Chappell which said: ‘did you watch?’
Shabash Pakistan, great captaincy and inns Hafeez, Well done JK, Malik, Did you watch Ian Chappell? 😊
