Former Pakistan captain and renowned commentator Ramiz Raja experienced an embarrassing moment during a Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) 2025-26 match when his enthusiastic call for the crowd to 'make some noise' was met with an almost complete lack of response. The incident occurred on January 18, 2026, during the toss ceremony for a match between Dhaka Capitals and Chattogram Royals at the Sher-e-Bangla Cricket Stadium in Dhaka. Raja, known for his commentary, attempted to emulate the signature crowd-rousing style of former Indian cricketer and coach Ravi Shastri, who is famous for energizing stadiums with similar appeals. However, unlike Shastri's typically roaring reception, Raja's request was met with faint claps and shouts, resulting in a noticeable silence. The video clip of this awkward moment quickly went viral across various social media platforms, including Instagram and X (formerly Twitter). This led to widespread trolling of Ramiz Raja, with many users finding the situation 'cringe-worthy' and sharing memes. Some observers, however, suggested that factors like stadium acoustics or the early timing of the toss, when many fans might still be entering, could have contributed to the muted crowd reaction. Despite the brief embarrassment, the news has been widely covered by credible sports media outlets, highlighting the viral nature of the incident.
