New Delhi: In a viral video from a show about the 2025 Champions Trophy, former Pakistani cricketers Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis were seen mocking the former PCB Chairman Ramiz Raja. The show, which also featured former Indian cricketer Ajay Jadeja, took a lighthearted turn when Akram referenced an infamous comment made by Ramiz Raja.
During the show, while Ajay Jadeja was speaking, Wasim Akram jokingly said, “I heard that Ronaldo’s diet plan is prepared by NASA.” This comment was a reference to a bizarre statement made by Ramiz Raja on a TV show in the past, where he claimed that Portugal’s football star Cristiano Ronaldo’s diet plan was created by NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration). This claim had previously gone viral and was widely mocked on social media.
In the show, the host responded, “Yes, he once said that.” The host then turned to Waqar Younis and asked, “Who said that?” Waqar, laughing, responded, “Yes, I heard that someone said it.” When asked further who said it, Waqar hesitated, saying he only heard about it but wasn’t sure who made the statement. Both Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis couldn’t contain their laughter, and Wasim made another attempt to get Waqar to name the person, but Waqar refused to mention anyone specifically. While it was clear that everyone knew who had made the statement, no one wanted to name Ramiz Raja.

Pakistan Knocked Out of Champions Trophy 2025
In a disappointing turn of events, Pakistan, which is hosting the 2025 Champions Trophy, became the first team to be eliminated from the tournament. They made history as the first host nation in ICC Champions Trophy history to lose every match they played. Pakistan lost their opening match to New Zealand and their second match to India. Their third match against Bangladesh was abandoned due to rain, further cementing their exit from the tournament. The hosts’ poor performance led to their early elimination, leaving fans disappointed.
