Young Pakistani cricketer Ahmad Shahzad had reportedly called his fans as 'losers' and 'punks' on Twitter and told them to 'stop their coaching classes, everyone is a record holder here, after getting frustrated at their criticism.

According to The Nation, the opener vented out his frustration on fans on the social networking site after they asked him to reply to their Tweets by threatening to block those who asked for it, adding that he also mentioned about staying away from Twitter.

The outburst occurred after Shahzad's performance in his first match of Caribbean Premier League (CPL) Twenty20 tournament where he only managed to score seven runs, after coming from a failure in the ODI and T20 series against West Indies.

 

According to Shahzad, one has to win to lose, as it is just a game of cricket, adding that no player can perform every day.
