New Delhi, June 17: As India beat Pakistan for a successive 7th time in World Cup history on Sunday in Manchester, a number of Pakistan fans blamed ‘burgers’ for their team’s dismal performance against their arch-rivals.
A number of videos and pictures have emerged on social media which show a few Pakistan players having burgers on the eve of the crucial World Cup encounter. As soon as Pakistan crumbled to one of their worst defeats vs India in the tournament, the team’s fans wasted no time in pointing out the player’s outing as the chief reason for the loss.
In a video that has been going viral on social media, a Pak fan can be heard saying that the players (Shoaib Malik, Sarfaraz Ahmed at al) were eating burgers before the game and that is why they lost. He goes on to add that Pakistan players are only good for ‘dangal’ and not cricket:
Here are a few reactions across social media:
Some also trolled Indian tennis ace Sania Mirza, who was also present at the outing along with her husband Shoaib Malik and his teammates.
