New Zealand played "Big Show" music on Azam Khan's arrival

A New Zealand Disc Jockey (DJ) played the theme music of WWE star Big Show on the arrival of Pakistani batter Azam Khan during the third T-20 match. The match between Pakistan and New Zealand took place at the University Oval stadium in Dunedin.

However, Pakistani Cricket Team fans became angry when a New Zealand DJ played Big Show music. It happened when Azam Khan entered the playground during the 11th over, and Big Show theme music, “Crank it Up,” began playing. Big Show is a well-known big wrestler in WWE and weighs more than 400 pounds.

The act of the DJ made Pakistani fans upset who claimed he was body-shaming Azam Khan due to his bulky appearance. However, some cricket fans enjoyed the moment. They found the situation both amusing and uncomfortable. This event remained a hot topic among netizens the entire day.

One netizen expressed extreme excitement and joy. He wrote earlier the crowd dressed up as a ghost to tease Haris Sohail. They are now playing Big Show music on the arrival of Azam Khan.
