Poor performance: Chahat Fateh advises national team players to drink milk

ISLAMABAD: Chahat Fateh Ali Khan, who gained attention on social media worldwide for his humorous singing, has also offered some valuable advice to cricketers.

In a conversation with a private TV channel’s reporter, singer Chahat Fateh Ali questioned the national team’s performance, stating, “Our team lost to the USA in the T20 World Cup and now to Bangladesh! I think the cricketers have stopped drinking milk.”

He added, “When I used to play cricket, I drank milk twice a day, which kept me fit. My advice to cricketers is to consume yogurt, fruits, and milk.”

He further commented, “Every team goes through a decline. There was a time when the Indian team couldn’t win matches, and now wherever they go, they play excellent cricket. I’m not sure if it’s a lack of morale or something else with the Pakistan team. Whatever cricketers do, they should do it with joy; success will follow.”
