Cricket is a game of the masses, no matter what age you will see groups of men from teens to maturity playing cricket on every other street specially in Pakistan. The love of cricket is not limited to our nation but its actually a sport loved by all over the globe.
Currently the cricket festivity is in the air as the T20 World Cup is in its full swing. The cricket fans are super excited and cheering for their teams to win. Having said that we have noticed a lot of negativity, people literally tend to verbally target and abuse the loosing teams and stoop to a low that’s not acceptable.
Pakistan is doing extremely well this tournament and won of the first teams to qualify for the semis, on the contrary India has not been able to perform well this world cup and is the first team to be out of the tournament after back to back defeats.
After India’s defeat people started targeting their players personally and things turned pretty ugly. Many of our celebrities including Ali Zafar came out in support and stood against abuse of the opponent teams. I personally believe Cricket is a game and should be taken in its true spirit which is fun and entertainment. it is a matter of pride but let’s not make it a matter of Ego.
May the best team win, best of luck Team Greens!
