Former Pakistan speedster Shoaib Akhtar has become a butt of jokes. In a video that is going viral, he claims that he used to have a heart rate of 190. A normal heart rate of a human is 72 beats per minute. Meanwhile, the fans are divided as some claim that when a person exercises, they have a heart rate in excess of 190.
Meanwhile, there are a lot of netizens who are brutally trolling the former tearaway pacer.
This is how Twitter reacted

Why everyone overreacting.

190 is normal when you're doing exercise continuously.
It even goes past 200 for many people.
I had seen a chess match where players heartbeat were 140-150.

They were not abusing each other.
You abuse because of frustration not because of heartbeat.

I was offered to captain Pakistan at one stage: Shoaib Akhtar
Apart from the above-mentioned statements, the Rawalpindi player has made another claim. He said that he was asked to lead his national side. At the time, Rashid Latif, who was the wicketkeeper batter at the time, was leading the team. Meanwhile, Akhtar added that he denied as his fitness wasn't consistent.
For those who don't know, Waqar Younis captained the side till the 2003 ODI World Cup. The team crashed out in the first round after losing to Australia, India, and England. Meanwhile, Shoaib further added that he supported his teammates but the board was unstable at the time.
“I wasn't fit enough,” Akhtar told Suno News HD. “I could play three matches out of five. I was offered captaincy in 2002, but then I would've played only 1.5-2 years (if I played all matches),” said Akhtar.
“I supported my teammates, but the board was very unstable. There was mismanagement all over the board. Pakistan itself had faced mismanagement at that time.”
“When your culture endures mediocrity, every person in power is mediocre. The mediocrity continues to increase. You see what the state is today. Is there anything we can manage right now? Nothing. Everyone runs away from responsibility,” said Akhtar.
