PM Shehbaz responds to Zimbabwe President’s ‘fake Mr Bean’ troll

KARACHI: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Thursday replied to the President of Zimbabwe Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa’s tweet trolling Pakistan over the fake ‘Mr Bean’ saga.

The Green Shirts faced an upset defeat against Zimbabwe by one run at Perth in the Super 12 fixture of the ICC T20 World Cup Super on Thursday.

The premier congratulated Mnangagwa for his side’s astonishing win with a humourous take on the “Pak Bean” meme. The PM was responding to a tweet posted by the Zimbabwean leader in which he said Pakistan “should send the real Mr Bean”.

“We may not have the real Mr Bean, but we have real cricketing spirit .. and we Pakistanis have a funny habit of bouncing back,” he replied.

Earlier, the Zimbabwean head, in his tweet, congratulated the cricket team for a thrilling one-run victory and said Pakistan should send the real Mr Bean next time.

It all started when the Pakistani comedian Mohammad Asif, who is known as “Pakistani Mr. Bean” for his stark resemblance to British comedian Rowan Atkinson’s character, came to an event in the African country as the real one. The people thought him to be the real one but later realized they were tricked.

Twitter user Ngugu Chasura, commenting on a tweet by Pakistan Cricket Board, said his country will never forgive as they were sent the doppelganger instead of the real one.

He added, “We will settle the matter tomorrow just pray the rains will save you.”
