This left the PCB chief fuming as he asked the journalist whether he was from India and also hinted that the Indian fans would be happy at the outcome of the final.
The journalist replied by saying that he was not and that he was asking a genuine question. After this a clearly rattled Ramiz walked off and also tried to remove the journalist's phone.
The journalist later took to Twitter and asked why Ramiz tried to snatch his phone, "that's not right Mr Chairman Taking my phone was not right," the journalist wrote
क्या मेरा सवाल ग़लत था - क्या पाकिस्तान के फ़ैन नाखुश नहीं है - ये बहुत ग़लत था एक बोर्ड के चेयरमैन के रूप में - आपको मेरा फ़ोन नहीं छीनना चाहिये था - that's not right Mr Chairman Taking my phone was not right @TheRealPCB @iramizraja #PAKvSL #SLvsPAK pic.twitter.com/tzio5cJvbG
