MUMBAI- India vs Pakistan match at a World Cup tournament has always been always termed as the most anticipated match of the tournament.
In Cricket World Cup 2019, Pakistan cricket team’s poor performance has sucked the fun out of the legendary rivalry. The much discussed and talked about India-Pakistan match at Cricket World Cup 2019 ended up as predicted, where the Indian cricket team won quite comfortably.
It’s been a week since the India-Pakistan match but fans are still angry and not letting it go. Recently, a video of a fan misbehaving with Sarfaraz Ahmed has gone viral on the internet.

No points in guessing, the video came under the scanner with almost all the netizens criticising the man for misbehaving with Sarfaraz. Riteish Deshmukh is one of them. Sharing a tweet, Riteish wrote in support of Sarfaraz, “Every captain in history has lost an important match. #SarfarazAhmed doesn’t deserve this. This is harassment… for heaven’s sake he is with his child.”

Later in a reply to Ritesh’s tweet, revealed that after the social media backlash, the fan has now apologised via a video.

Pakistani cricket team, especially Sarfaraz faced severing trolling on social media since India beat Pakistan by 89 runs on the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern (DLS) method in the ICC Men’s World Cup 2019 match at the Old Trafford on Sunday.
Winning or losing is part of a game. At the end of the day, it is just a game and the fans should understand this. The supporters and fans should not humiliate the sportsmen by passing personal remarks.
We are glad to see a calm response by Sarfaraz Ahmed to the troll. The story should have been different if Sarfaraz had reacted to the troll.
