Imran Khan's statement declaring foreign players who participated in the Pakistan Super League 'phateechar' incited fury and anger on micro-blogging site Twitter, as some cricket enthusiasts accused the cricketer-turned-politician of resorting to petty politics and racism.
Had Imran Khan known of the impact that his 'phateechar' comment would have, the PTI chairman might have not made them at all. Pakistani Twitterati had a field day trolling the former World Cup-winning captain for his harsh statement. Even supporters of Imran seemed to distance themselves from his recent comments.

Imran Khan, the man who used to be extremely popular on social media, may have fallen out of love with many owing to his recent comments. Will the PTI chairman apologise for his controversial remarks or will he stick to his words?
