The comedian is known hilariously known as 'Pak Bean.' During his visit to Zimbabwe, Fake Bean was also given a police escort.

The tug-of-war on Twitter went viral on social media and the netizens had a field day.

Meanwhile, Pakistan faced a narrow four-wicket defeat at the hands of India in their opening match while Zimbabwe's opening match in the Super 12 stage against South Africa was abandoned due to rain. It would be interesting to see what combination both teams go in with for this crucial encounter.
