Akmal is no stranger to online mockery. He has been a frequent target of internet jokes and memes. His previous social media blunders include a congratulatory message to the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) for winning the IPL trophy, in which he misspelled the franchise¡¯s name as "KKL," leading to widespread trolling. ¡°Congratulations to KKL on winning the IPL third trophy,¡± he wrote, only to delete the tweet later. The errors in his message prompted a user to joke, ¡°KKL to congratulations on IPL third winning trophy. Lord Umar,¡± while another commented, ¡°Congratulations to IPL for winning 3rd KKR.¡±
