India's arch-nemesis, Pakistan, is coming across as almost unimpressed with India's win in the final of the T20 Cricket World Cup. Generally, in all sports including cricket, Indian players give personal congratulations to the winners after displaying sportsmanship. But in Pakistan, the opposite is happening.
Yesterday, Saturday, India defeated South Africa by seven runs in a thrilling match in the final match of the T20 Cricket World Cup played in Barbados, West Indies. Many cricketers around the world took to social media to congratulate India on this glorious thrilling victory. But Pakistan is excluded from this.
Pakistan cricket team captain Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah, Haris Rauf etc. have not digested India's grand victory in the final match of the T20 Cricket World Cup. All these players, did not post any message on their Twitter congratulating India's victory. For this reason, it is possible that Pakistan's fundamentalist and harsh critics may be afraid.
While some cricketers of Pakistan have posted messages on their social media congratulating India's glorious and thrilling victory by showing sportsmanship without caring about the fundamentalist-critics.
Pakistani bowler Hasan Ali has congratulated the Indian cricket team and said what a match it was. A fantastic final, congratulations to India instead of winning the T20 Cricket World Cup. However, he also praised South Africa's fight.
What a match, what a final!! Congratulations to India on winning the #T20WorldCup And hats off to South Africa for an unbeaten run till the final, you guys were just an inch away from it #T20WorldCupFinal #INDvsSA
