Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif is receiving flak for his distasteful tweet after Team India's T20 World Cup 2022 ouster.
The Men in Blue bowed out of the tournament with a 10-wicket thrashing at the hands of England in the second semi-final at the Adelaide Oval on November 10.
With this victory, England set up a clash with Pakistan in the T20 World Cup 2022 final at MCG on Sunday (November 13).
After the game, Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif took a brutal dig at the Indian team on Twitter.
"So, this Sunday, it’s: 152/0 vs 170/0 #T20WorldCup," he wrote, referring to India’s 10-wicket defeat against Pakistan in the T20 World Cup 2021 while defending the target of 152.
Pakistan PM’s tweet hasn’t gone down well with the Indian fans and on Saturday (November 12), former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan also reacted to the post.
Pathan gave a befitting replay as he wrote: “Aap mein or hum mein fark yehi hai. Hum apni khushi se khush or aap dusre ke taklif se. Is liye khud ke mulk ko behtar karne pe dhyan nahi hai (This is the difference between you and us. We are happy with ourselves, you look for happiness when others are in trouble. That is why you are not concentrating on your country's well-being)."
On the eve of the T20 World Cup 2022 final, Pakistan skipper Babar Azam was also asked about Shehbaz Sharif’s tweet and whether such posts tend to put extra pressure on his team.
To which, Babar replied: “There is no pressure as such. But sorry to say, I didn't see this tweet so I have no knowledge of it. But yes we just try to give our best against the opposition.”
