Watch: As Azam Khan Comes Out To Bat During Third T20I vs. New Zealand, DJ Plays Big Show’s WWE Music. Internet Left Fuming
The fans of the Pakistan cricket team are not happy after the DJ at the University Oval, Dunedin, played wrestler Big Show's World Wrestling Entertainment entrance music for wicketkeeper Azam Khan during the third T20I match against New Zealand on Wednesday. As Azam came out to bat in the 11th over of the Pakistan innings, the DJ played the music in the stadium, and it enraged a lot of fans. The supporters were not happy on social media, and many of them accused the DJ of 'body shaming' the Pakistan cricket team player. The cricketer scored just 10 before he was dismissed by Matt Henry.
New Zealand sealed their T20 series against Pakistan with two games to spare on Wednesday on the back of a record 137 off 62 balls by opener Finn Allen at the University Oval in Dunedin.
The swashbuckling Allen, following on from his 74 off 41 balls in game two, frequently belted the ball out of the ground as he smashed 16 sixes and five fours in his whirlwind innings.

One of the fans wrote, “Pathetic from the hosts to play The Big Show's entrance music when Azam Khan came out to bat. @TheRealPCB should take it up with @BLACKCAPS.
Another fan said, "I'm not a fan of Azam Khan, but this is body shaming; we need to condemn it as it is.”
