Pakistan cruised to a convincing 10-wicket victory against arch-rivals India at their opening encounter of the 2021 T20 World Cup.
While this was Pakistan’s first-ever 10-wicket triumph in T20 cricket format, it was India’s first-ever 10-wicket loss in the game as well. Netizens took notice, and Twitter exploded with some of the best rib-tickling reactions.
Minutes after Pakistan humbled India, netizens flooded Twitter with memes of Bollywood’s legendary actor Akshay Kumar, who watched live as his team got pummeled. You should know that the actor was spotted celebrating whenever an Indian player scored a few runs, and netizens took notice.

Cricket fans from Kashmir also joined in the onslaught, calling out the likes of Virender Sehwag… and Arnab Goswami.

A few netizens believe this is how Arnab Goswami would be reporting from the “fifth floor of Serena Hotel in Kabul”, and everyone agrees.

Pakistan’s all-format captain Babar Azam and wicket-keeper batter Mohammad Rizwan received plaudits for their record-breaking 152-run chase without losing a wicket. After almost 200 years, the Mughal Empire made an appearance.
