The apex body of football FIFA has recently imitated Pakistan pace bowler Hasan Ali in an Instagram post while appreciating England winger Bukayo Saka on Sunday.
FIFA posted a picture of Bukayo Saka on their Instagram with the caption ‘Saka karlega’ after the winger scored an 80th-minute goal to level the scores in the Euro Cup quarter-final against Switzerland.
Switzerland’s Breel Embolo scored the first goal of the match in the 75th minute, however, Saka scored the equalizer only five minutes later.
England went on to win the match on penalties 5-3. They will face the Netherlands in the semi-finals on July 11.
FIFA’s Instagram post imitated Hasan Ali’s infamous ‘King karlega‘ comment which he made during an appearance at a local podcast last year.
Hasan Ali during the conversation praised Babar Azam highly and revealed that the Pakistan players refer to Babar as ‘King’ in the dressing room.
“Hum usko Babar nahi King kehte hain… Yaar King karlega,” the fast bowler said.
Hasan’s remarks caught the attention of cricket fans with some seeing the funny side of it and thus turning it into a meme.
For the unversed, Hasan Ali is currently in England to participate in the ongoing County Championship League for Warwickshire County Cricket Club.
It’s worth noting that FIFA’s Instagram was targeted at Pakistan’s audience only, hence it is only visible in Pakistan.
