Pakistan is currently rejoicing the return of cricket at home. They are hosting Sri Lanka for a three-match ODI and T20I series. 

The 50-over series has already kicked off at Karachi. Unfortunately, the first ODI was washed off because of rain, and PCB had to shift the second encounter to Monday -- rescheduling it from Sunday. Pakistan won the match by 67 runs courtesy a Babar Azam ton.

The security concerns in Pakistan is the primary reason why very little international cricket has been played in the country in the last ten years.

Even for the second ODI, the team bus was surrounded with very tight security from the hotel to the venue. A video is doing rounds on social media where a 'curfew-like' situation can be seen in Karachi.

Former India cricketer and BJP politician Gautam Gambhir shared the video on his Twitter account and took a jibe at Pakistan. He said Pakistan is so much concerned about Kashmir that they forgot to look after their own country.

“Itna Kashmir kiya ke Karachi bhool gaye,” tweeted Gambhir. In the video, over 20 security vehicles can be seen accompanying Sri Lanka team bus.
