There should be a gallantry award for these supporters.
Ahmedabad – with all due respect – you were classless, graceless, and disgraceful. Pakistan was definitely not expecting the same level of hospitality as the people of Hyderabad displayed. Neither was Pakistan expecting a grand welcome or support from the crowd.
But what Pakistan certainly did not expect was constant booing, abusive chants, and intimidating behavior, particularly towards Muhammad Rizwan.
Supporting Team India was your right. Filling the entire stadium with Indian crowd was your choice. The aforementioned three nonsensical tactics were your decision, which was unsporting to say the least.
Thank you Ahmedabad for nothing..!
The Zaka Ashraf Factor
A day before Zaka Ashraf met. Much like Pakistan Peoples Party’s Yousaf Raza Gillani in Mohali 2011. It has become a norm that game is a big regret afterwards. They are a sellout. And there are chaces of matches being fixed in Peoples party’s control. I hope Zaka Ashraf sold this match in USD instead of PKR. Business should thrive at least.
But to be honest: An absolute carnaige awaits our number one team, as any sane mind could have foreseen. The streak lives on, and quite brutally at that. It all began with our so-called former cricketing legend Wasim Akram deliberately underperforming in back-to-back World Cup matches against India, first in 1996 (feigning injury) and later in the 1999 edition, when our team of that era was more than capable of beating India 9 out of 10 times. Our team no longer fixes matches. They are presently losing purely on merit.
