Netizens are trending Khalistani for an Indian Sikh Cricketer Arshdeep Singh, Here is the complete report
Pakistan exacted revenge on India for their five-wicket loss in their opening Asia Cup 2022 match by defeating Men in Blue by the same margin in the Super 4 match on Sunday (September 4). Virat Kohli had fantastic innings, scoring 60 runs off 44 balls, including 4 boundaries and 1 six, but Mohammad Rizwan’s 71 runs off 51 balls took the cake. He played a key role in Pakistan’s victory over India in this match. Mohammad Nawaz also emerged as a hero for Pakistan after smashing 42 off just 20 balls.
Not to mention Khushdil Shah’s (14 off 11) and Asif Ali’s (16 off 8) minor but crucial efforts, which helped Pakistan pass the victory mark with one ball remaining. In the 18th over of the chase, off the bowling of Ravi Bishnoi, a significant catch was missed. Asif survived when Arshdeep Singh lost his catch at short third man. A sitter was dropped by the youthful pacer. If he had taken the catch, India might have gained control of the match and Pakistan might have fallen behind once more in the chase. The Men in Green won the competition, thus it was not to be.
Here is what Netizens have to say about it
While some have started trending Khalistani against the Indian Sikh Cricketer Arshdeep Singh, some Twitterati has already called out these trollers. Some Twitter accounts as we checked had a Pakistani descent who are trending such hashtags for the Sikh Cricketer.
