Asif Ali has revealed the team will dedicate the T20 World Cup victory to his daughter who passed away due to blood cancer. She was19-months old and was diagnosed with fourth-stage cancer. This was a huge blow to the cricketer and impacted his performance immensely.
As the Indian cricket team struggles to put up a match-winning performance and fails to achieve victory so far in the tournament, an old video of PM Khan from 2012 predicting the Indian cricket team's downfall is making the rounds on social media.
Babar Azam and Muhammad Rizwan have already scored two-century stands in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2021. They first scored a century partnership against India and then against Namibia. Both the opening batsmen scored a half-century.
The team manager congratulated Namibia for putting up an excellent cricket and giving them a tough competition. Pakistani players also applauded the talent of Namibian cricketers. The players embraced each other and exchanged pleasantries.
Netizens want Pakistan to settle the score with Namibia for canceling exports of elephants, therefore, Pakistani crickets fans want the team to maintain their winning streak and defeat Namibia as well to safely qualify for the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup 2021.
Unable to take the banter, Indian users unleashed a tirade of racist abuse against Daren Sammy and even supported the South African player Quinton De Kock who had refused to take the knee in reverence of the Black Lives Matter campaign.
He can be seen dressed up in blue jeans and a brown jacket standing against the wall. Posted last night on Instagram, the picture has racked up immense appreciation and praise from fans and followers.
The video of the meeting between PM Khan and legendary cricketing figures Sir Vivian Richards and David Gower has been making rounds on social media. Both sides discussed the promotion of national cricket and the provision of facilities and opportunities to the young players.
Pakistani cricketers like Muhammad Amir, Azhar Ali, and others have expressed concerns over the vitriol, backlash being directed at Virat Kohli and other Indian players. They have shown an exemplary attitude as they support the Indian cricket team on social media.
Virat Kohli is the latest Indian cricketer to be howled at following a crushing defeat against New Zealand on Sunday in Dubai in the T20 World Cup 2021 match. He has been receiving threats because he defended the only Muslim player in the team, Muhammad Shami.
Indian cricket fans have been extremely upset with the poor performance of the team in the T20 World Cup 2021. Cricket analysts and commentators believe that a crushing defeat against Pakistan has demoralized the Indian cricket team and hence they are spiraling into fear of losing.
