"Ye shaddy shoody k chakr choro and please focus on world cup [Leave all these shaddy things ... and focus on World Cup]," he wrote.

In his response, Shadab said: "Abi nz mai aadhi raat hai Physio ne bola hai rest kero time off lo aap kehte hai tu ulta latak ke training start ker de? [It's midnight in New Zealand, physio told us to take a rest. If you say, should I hang upside down and start training]?" he wrote.
