Finally, the wait is over. The mother of all rivalries – the India vs Pakistan T20 World Cup 2022 clash – has finally kicked off at the Melbourne Cricket Ground today Sunday, October 23. And the excitement and thrill for the high-voltage clash between the two arch-rivals are second to none as more than 1,00,000 fans throng the Melbourne Cricket Ground today. The MCG was echoing with the chants of India and Pakistan as the two captains walked out for the toss.
Rohit Sharma and Babar Azam, both the captains would be hoping that their sides rise to the challenge and put up a good show in front of a jam-packed stadium. However, Pakistan’s captain is trending on social media for n altogether different reason and that is his English, which is something fans were not impressed with. The Pakistan skipper has once again found himself at the receiving end of trolling after he walked out for the toss in ongoing India vs Pakistan match.
“Toss is not in our hands. We’ll try to post around 160-170. We are playing 11. We have prepared well, and we are ready for this big game. We won a series back home, we played a tri-series in New Zealand, so we are prepared. We have three fast bowlers and two spinners.”
Well, Pakistani cricketers are often trolled for their spoken English and Babar was no exception. After his short conversation with Ravi Shastri, Babar Azam started trending on social media. Fans on social media took this as an opportunity to troll the Pakistan captain and they flooded social media, trolling the batting great.
Check out the reactions of fans:
