SYDNEY – Pakistan’s defeat against Zimbabwe in the ongoing T20 World Cup has triggered different reactions while a clip of vice-captain Shadab Khan crying in the pavilion went viral.
The second back-to-back defeat in a span of three days does not upset fans but also the players; Shadab in one of his clips broke down in tears as he was seen on his knees, visibly distraught after the rare loss against underdog Zimbabwe.
Shadab, known as most successful T20I bowlers, put in all the efforts in a nail-biting Group 2 thriller in Perth and despite his heroics, Zimbabwe defeated Men in Green and put Babar-led squad in danger of an early exit from the mega event.
