As India scores a victory against Afghanistan, many are alleging the match was rigged. Among those is Pakistani actor Muneeb Butt.
The Baandi actor took to his official Twitter handle to slam the Indian cricket team on their victory against Afghanistan in the T20 match on Wednesday.
The Baddua star jumped the hashtag ‘Fixed Match’ which was circulating on Twitter. Ironically, while slamming the Indian team he used a Bollywood film dialogue to make a point.
“Team india haar k jeetney waley baazigar kehtey aur aisey jaaan k harney waley ko Kaarigar kehtey hain. (Those that win after losing are called ‘players’ and those that deliberately lose are called craftsmen)“

He used the famous dialogue from Bollywood Badshah’s film Baazigar. The dialogue in question is when Shah Rukh Khan was flirting with the leading lady saying he wins even when he loses.
Twitter was flooded with reactions to Afghanistan’s unfathomable performance by the first half of the ‘India vs Afghanistan’ match of the T20 World Cup Super 12 stage. The first half of India’s batting round alone had Twitter flooded with memes.

Aside from the memes, Twitteratti got to explaining their disappointment and discussing the Afghan team’s bowling figures. The public analysis remains that there was foul play involved. However, there were many that asserted that the Indian team just played better than the Afghan team. What do you think? Let us know in the comments below.
