Afgahnistan stars Azmatullah Omarzai and Fazalhaq Farooqi were involved a banter ahead of the IPL 2025 game between the Rajasthan Royals and Punjab Kings on April 4, Friday in Mullanpur. In a video shared by Rajasthan Royals on their official social media handles, Farooqi hilariously said about Omarzai, ‘Yeh itna famous nahin hai’.
Farooqi, one of the best seamers produced by Afghanistan in recent years, was part of the SunRisers Hyderabad and is now plying his trade for the Royals. Omarzai, who is coming on the back of his heroics in Champions Trophy 2025, was snapped by the Punjab Kings for a hefty ₹2.4 crore.
In the video uploaded by Rajasthan Royals, here’s how the conversation between them went:
Farooqi: Bhai iska video nahin karo, yeh kaun hai? Yeh itna famous nahin hai. (Why are you taking his video? He is not that famous.)
Omarzai: Abhi famous ho jaaunga, iske saath khada hoon. (I’ll become famous as I’m standing with him).
