‘Bhai Bhogle ki shirt pehenli kya?’ – Fans mock Shane Watson for embarrassing wardrobe malfunction during commentary
Shane Watson, the Australian cricket legend, found himself at the centre of a lighthearted social media storm recently as he stepped into the commentary box during the ODI World Cup. The reason? His choice of attire, particularly a remarkably snug-fitting shirt that didn’t go unnoticed by fans and viewers alike.
Known for his incredible achievements on the cricket field, Watson is no stranger to the limelight. However, on this occasion, it was his choice of wardrobe that caught everyone’s attention. As he appeared on screen, it became clear that his shirt was significantly tighter than expected.

The buttons looked like they were barely able to reach one another, resulting in creases in the shirt and a good view of Watson’s chest and stomach. Fans couldn’t resist poking fun at the snug fit. Social media platforms were abuzz with humorous comments and playful jabs, turning the former cricketer into an unintentional meme of the World Cup.
India aiming for no. 1 spot by defeating Bangladesh
Talking about the ODI World Cup 2023, New Zealand are currently the table topper with 4 out of 4 wins so far followed by India who have won their first 3 matches of the tournament. The Men in Blue are currently clashing against Bangladesh on October 19 in Pune and will aim to win the match in order to grab the first position in the points table.
However, in the world of cricket, where players are often praised for their athletic prowess and style both on and off the field, Shane Watson’s tight shirt moment added a touch of levity to the proceedings. It goes to show that even the most accomplished athletes can find themselves in the crosshairs of good-natured banter from fans, making Watson’s wardrobe choice a memorable part of this ODI World Cup.
Here’s how fans reacted:
No-one but Fufaji in shadi .
