which in the end damaged the global reputation of Pakistan as a whole
just a few years back who was just another cricketer turned youtuber
among the first in the soon to join laundry list of people including Shoaib Akhtar, Kamran akhmal, Salman butt & Inzamam ul haq
but he had spend the last year picking a fight with PCB
From PCB is destroying Babar Azam’s potential to even Afghanistan can defeat Pakistan now
He kept of making controversies and lighting fires till finally he said
That he had talked to Imran khan about this
And soon rumors started that PM Imran khan was unhappy with his then appointment Ehsan Mani
Which soon came true
As Ehsan Mani refused to let Ramiz raja be the vice chairman and resigned from the post
Ramiz raja – now the chairman
So while the whole cricketing world had agreed
Being a good cricketer had nothing to do with being a good manager
& In his very first press conference picked a fight with a journalist saying – I am not gone listen to any criticism here
This attitude of the king…
Would become his trademark feature throughout his tenure
From unilaterally changing the T20 world cup squad
Causing coach Misbah and Waqar Younis to resign
& telling the captain to
Focus on cricket rather than which players will be picked or not.
And when questioned about this
King’s response -
I told him that
if you don't have 400 autograph hunters outside the academy then the whole objective to play cricket has failed.
And this need from fame was plain to see for the next few months especially when England and new Zealand cancelled their tour
Responding with
in the World Cup now where we had one team in our target —now add two more teams
we will avenge that in the ground.
India stole Pakistan strategies to become strong
And then setting the target on BCCI
He soon launched his austerity measures while himself spending 6 lakhs per month
Don’t use AC
Turn of the lights
Drink less tea,
To save money
Finally saying
PCB can collapse
if Indian government wants
& trying to encourage his team he said - I have been promised a blank cheque by an investor if India defeats Pakistan
And so developed a pattern that can
See if you can see a pattern here
Sourav Ganguly extends IPL final invitation to Ramiz Raja , Raja refuses
Ramiz Raja won’t charge single penny from PCB as chairman
Ramiz Raja empowered Babar and instilled fearless cricket
“I plotted Rohit Sharma’s dismissal with Babar Azam
Even participating in a reality program…
Where he would judge commentators for PSL
This was to the point that
Wasim Akram had to say
Ramiz raja is PCB
But soon trouble would come knocking starting from buying drop pitches worth 37 crores for no reason whatsoever
And when you once again blame your top management for taking too large a salary
The national assembly decided to investigate them leading to their salaries being disclosed publicly indirectly causing Saqlain Mustaq to refuse from continuing as the coach
And in middle of thousand such fires
Australia grace the land of Pakistan
The series was being marketed as the introduction of Pakistan to the world
With the whole world eyes on them
Pakistan did the unthinkable
Created a completely flat pitch
Where nobody had any chance of actually bringing results
Where he practically went and said
Yeah we did it intentionally
Even justifying his decision of doing so
Camouflaging it as a tactical decision and using it to make even the second pitch completely barren
And banning the commentary panel from mentioning the pitch
Trying to prevent the backlash that his country was receiving
Including Australian captain pat Cummins publicly condemning the pitch
But this defensive mindset would come back to bite them soon
This is the exciting and disheartening journey of the first half of Ramiz rajas tenure
A complete timeline of the debacle that was the year that brought Pakistan to its knees

Talking about Ramiz Raja, I remember when he was deliberately asking Inzy questions in English, knowing that he is not so good in English. And then laughing on his face in front of the camera. This guy was shamelessly making fun of his own countryman in front of the world.

Ramiz threatening his friend reminds me of an incident of one of my favourite cricketers, Mark Waugh. A middle class Australian was in serious financial jeopardy and he was thinking of suicide and substance abuse. As he was in a bar or restaurant, I don't know, he met Mark Waugh who was in his playing years. Mark and his friends chatted with him and he told them about his condition, Mark then talked with him and gave him hope and drove him to his home in their car. Then guy's life went upwards after that. He shared this story in the comment section of one of Waugh's YouTube videos posted by Cricket Australia. Mark Waugh provides a mirror to Ramiz on how people should be.

12:40 First pitch was a desert and second one was a road😂😂

The 2nd part is going to be really special as it will cover up the part where Ramiz Raja accused Kohli scoring a 100 after 4 dropped catches and showing India's failure instead of Pakistan loss in final And then October 23 where the real King thrashed his team followed by that shameful 3-0 clean sweep at home Rameez Raja definitely deserved a reality check from the starting itself

So Ramiz was absolutely right at that time and we saw why he said the overrated players are playing & even Afghanistan can defeat Pak now
-
Bro im pakistani and thank u for making this video i can surely say this is the truth
-
I am Pakistani but I agree with your video Ramiz was a narcissistic delusional chairman. His media talks and statement were just embarrassing but what I hated most was how no one could question management, captain and the chairman under him.
-
As a pakistani i completely agree that ramiz raja's era was the era of insulting,shaming and trash talking to everyone just for their own benefits.
-

Before you question the credibility of Ramiz, just take a moment and reflect on his tenure. He was the one who empowered Babar so that players cannot make groups against him. You might not be aware but the sad fact is that every Pakistan captain has faced groupings against him in the team. Ramiz was aware of this and he announced it once and for all that Babar is my captain no matter what. It just completely killed the ill-desires of the player to lobby against him. Secondly, Ramiz Raja wanted to build a strong team that can outclass any team. In his tenure, Pak played final of Asia Cup, Semi Final of T20 WC, and final of T20 WC. He protected his players just like the Great Imran Khan had done when he was the captain. Ramiz faced the camera to answer all harsh comments which, if not answered by Rambo, would have been asked from Babar who is not good at handling media. Thirdly, Ramiz Raja selected T20 WC unilaterally and that was a brave decision. The team which was selected for T20 WC before he changed it had players like Haider Ali, Khushdil Shah, and Hussain Talat and Fakhar was kept in reserved list. Ramiz brought in Hafeez, Malik, and Fakhar to consolidate the middle order and add aggression to the top order. That was the T20 WC in which Pakistan reached Semi Final without losing a single game. Long story short, When Ramiz resigned, PCT's decline started. How can you expect a journalist and politician(Sethi)to manage cricket?? How can you expect a journalist(Zaka Ashraf)to run the affairs of cricket?? Cricket should only be headed by a cricketer. Ramiz Raja was the best chairman and director PCB had ever hired in the last 2 decades.

Damn it!!!! Can't wait for part 2... Yours are one of the very few videos where I don't have to see how much time is left, time just flies!
-
Well Afghanistan did beat the hell out of Pakistan in this world cup. He wasn't wrong though.💀💀
-
This was such a perfect video. Eagerly waiting for Part 2.
-
Not all the criticism is correct on Ramiz Raja. He had Junior t20 league to find new talent, but that is scrapped since he got fired. He was tough on ex players, coaches so received criticism.
-
As a pakistani even I didnt knew that much He is like a fuvking villain
-
Like always better story telling than the Bollywood and edge of the seat thriller videos. Waiting for part 2
-
Him saying”na suno ga” means that he will “not only” listen to the criticism but also answer them.
-
If this video goes viral, King will react to this too, in his own style
