India’s victory over Pakistan in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 has sparked intense debate online. Among those expressing disappointment is renowned actress Rabya Kulsoom, who has spoken against brands for featuring cricketers in advertisements instead of letting them focus on their game.

Taking to Instagram, Rabya urged brands to reconsider their choices. “I would like to request all brands to stop taking these cricketers as their brand faces and let them focus on what they are supposed to do—play cricket,” she wrote.

She further questioned the growing involvement of cricketers in entertainment, adding, “Let actors do their job, but if cricketers want to act, then let actors be part of the team too.”

Sarcastically commenting on Pakistan’s performance, she suggested that actors Fahad Mustafa and Faizan Sheikh should be made team captains instead. “Maybe @mustafafahad26 or @mfaizansk should be made captain! Maybe we’ll get better results,” she remarked.

Her comments quickly went viral, sparking mixed reactions from Pakistani cricket fans. While some agreed with her frustration, others defended the national team, arguing that brand endorsements are a standard part of modern sports.
