T20 World Cup - Viral Video: Fan Calls Pakistan Star "Fixer", Internet Says 'Bewakoof Log'

Pakistan pacer Mohammad Amir's career has been marred with controversy, including his involvement in the spot-fixing scandal in England in 2010. While Amir has already paid the price for that mistake, having been banned by the ICC for five years, it seems that the fans haven't forgotten the incident. The veteran pacer's integrity has been often put into question by former players and fans of the Pakistan cricket team. Having said that, a fan called out Amir for the same amid the ongoing T20 World Cup in the Americas.

In a viral video, a man can be heard yelling the word "fixer" while Amir was walking near the boundary line at the Nassau County International Stadium in New York.

However, social media users criticised the man for targetting Amir, especially for something which he has already paid the price for.

Here's how internet reacted:

Boht he ghatiya harkat

I was there standing besides the guy doing this. Horrible from the fan. He has been punished for his actions, let's move on.

shameful people let the man live

Khuda maf kr deata hai log nai sai kaha tha kisi nay

bewaqoof log. Such people should be immmediately kicked out of the stadium by security.

After his selection in the squad for the T20 World Cup, Amir insisted that he is tired of former cricketers calling him out for his involvement in the spot-fixing scandal.

"I have done penance for that big mistake and if you look at my career I was banned from 2010 to 2015 and took retirement from 2020 to 2024 so I have lost nine years but I accept it all as God's will and I have moved on," Amir told Pakistani journalist Hafiz
