Renowned YouTube personality and entertainer Darren Watkins Jr., popularly known as "IShowSpeed", has found himself at the heart of a social media storm ahead of the highly-anticipated India vs Pakistan cricket match of World Cup 2023.


IShowSpeed roasts Babar Azam after batting blunder in Mumbai

The popular YouTuber is in India to attend the clash scheduled at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Saturday, October 14th.

Currently, in Mumbai, Watkins Jr. took a break from his typical content to try his hand at cricket. In the video, IShowSpeed is seen taking a swing and missing. His subsequent display of frustration is what has caught the eyes of many.

Dropping his bat and kicking the turf in agitation, he exclaimed, "F**k this shit… I'm playing like Babar Azam right now," taking a jab at the Pakistan captain. To add more fuel to the fire, Watkins Jr. was donning an Indian jersey with Virat Kohli's name, emphasising the rivalry and frequent comparisons between the Indian stalwart and Babar.

However, in a twist of events, IShowSpeed hit the very next ball and broke into a celebration reminiscent of football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo's iconic 'Siiiuuu' move, drawing cheers from those present.

It's essential to contextualise IShowSpeed's recent actions with his previous social media escapades. Known for his outspoken admiration for Kohli, Watkins Jr. found himself at the centre of another cricket-related controversy last month.

Commenting on Babar Azam's Instagram post captioned "Suit up!", IShowSpeed remarked, "Virat óbolo tos the goat", which, when translated, emphatically places Virat Kohli as the "Greatest of All Time", a declaration that divided the cricket community into heated discussions.

With the India-Pakistan clash just around the corner, it's evident that the off-field theatrics, courtesy of unexpected sources like IShowSpeed, are contributing significantly to the tension and anticipation leading up to the match. One can only wait and watch if this added drama impacts the performance and spirit on the field.
