Ramiz Raja invoked Ravichandran Ashwin's name during the first day of play in the second Test match between Pakistan and England in Multan but found himself trolled massively after a hilarious goof-up that saw spell the Indian legend's name wrong.

In a discussion with his fellow commentators, Raja was discussing the difference between the performance of spinners in the first and second innings in Test cricket. The former Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman mentioned Ashwin as an example of a spinner who is equally effective in the first innings too.

However, Raja spelled Ashwin's first name wrong. Instead of 'Ravichandran', Raja called him 'Ravindra.' Fans were quick to notice the former Pakistan cricketer's blunder. The video clip of Raja's goof-up went viral all over social media.

Earlier in the day, Raja came out in strong support of Babar Azam and questioned the selection committee's decision to drop him. The former PCB supremo claimed that it was a knee-jerk decision and the choice whether to play or not should have been Babar's. Raja also claimed that Babar's absence from the team has left sponsers worried.

"I think it should have been Babar's call, whether he wanted time out of playing XI or not. I think it was a knee jerk reaction. New selectors in. The general opinion was that he needed rest and he was taken out of the squad completely.

"Now we need to understand that this, you know, he sells cricket for Pakistan. And so there's always this debate that is happening right now in Pakistan, whether it's going to be another failure for Babar Azam, whether he's going to make a comeback and that keeps things interesting right now. I don't see any saleable commodity in this Pakistan team, you know, because sponsors are a little worried as well, because Pakistan had been on the losing sequence," said Raja to SKY Sports.
