In the World Cup T20 matches, India and Pakistan had a match on Sunday, and the world was hooked to the screens. Well, it was surely a great victory for the Pakistan team but also a heart-wrenching defeat for the Indian team. Soon after when India lost the match, some of the Indian team supporters started hurling abuses at Indian bowler Mohammed Shami.
Several users on social media abused Mohammed Shami and said that he is a Muslim player who is sided with Pakistan.
One of the users wrote that Bloody Pakistani in Team India.
Another user wrote that he takes money from Pakistan, he is a Muslim and he takes the side of Pakistan.
Yet another wrote abuses for him in the comment section and said India lost because of him and he is a Muslim who takes the side of Pakistan.
There were some tweeple who took the side of Shami sand said that Mohammad Shami is being abused after India lost to Pakistan. Time for India’s Hindu players to stand up for their Muslim teammates.
Another wrote that Horrifying Islamophobic abuse was hurled at Mohammed Shami on social media after India’s loss to Pakistan. The Indian team failed collectively, but Shami seems to be the only one bearing this cross. In complete solidarity with Shami. We are lucky that he plays for us.

There are pictures also circulating on the internet in which it can be seen that the Indian team was taking a knee in support of Black Lives Matter. Soon after, several users said that It’s really a bad joke of Indian cricketers kneeling in support of Black Lives Matter. Do these players have the spine to speak up against casteism in India and also to take a stand for Mohammed Shami.
