'Babar considers himself king, but Virat...': Pakistani fans express anger over defeat to India

Following a disappointing T20 World Cup defeat against India, Pakistani fans expressed their frustration over the performance of the national cricket team.

In the recent T20 World Cup match held in Colombo, India triumphed over Pakistan with a significant 61-run victory, setting a target of 176 runs for Pakistan, which ultimately collapsed at just 114 runs in 18 overs. This defeat continues Pakistan's struggles against India in this tournament format, where they have faced each other nine times, with Pakistan winning only once. Fans had high hopes for their team to overturn this streak, but the underwhelming performance has left them disappointed once again.

One notable fan, Harish, shared his experience after the match, expressing his unwavering support for the Pakistani team despite their frequent losses to India in past ICC events. He mentioned that he had traveled from Chicago to watch vital matches, including the 2017 Champions Trophy and various World Cup encounters. Harish's commitment to following Pakistani cricket through thick and thin highlights the deep emotional connection fans have with their team, particularly during high-stakes matches.

This recurring pattern of losses has prompted conversations among fans regarding the future of Pakistan cricket and the expectations placed on players like Babar Azam, who is often compared to Indian cricket captain Virat Kohli. The ongoing rivalry between these two cricketing nations not only reflects the competitive spirit on the field but also showcases the passion and disappointment felt by fans off the field as they analyze the performances of their respective teams.
