When it was announced that Shaheen Shah Afridi, a fast bowler for the Pakistan cricket team, would not be competing in the Asia Cup, trolls began to target the whole Indian team, including Rohit Sharma, the team captain.
Shaheen will not be participating in the Asia Cup owing to a knee injury, which came as a shock to Pakistani fans yesterday. While many users were saddened by the news, others began creating memes about the Indian team on Twitter.
Users dubbed Rohit Sharma the happiest man in the world when Shaheen upset the Indian top order and proved to be a nightmare for the Indian batting order during the T20 World Cup 2021.
Many of Rohit Sharma’s older videos, in which he can be seen dancing joyfully, also went popular at the same time.
On Twitter, though, fans have started a trend called “Amir” that calls for the Pakistan Cricket Board to recall him.
In December 2020, the left-arm pacer announced his resignation, alleging unfair and uneven treatment by management. He was blunt in his criticism of the coaching staff led by Waqar Younis and Misbah-ul-Haq.
