The high-octane clash IND vs PAK T20 WC match had one and all engaged, including not-so-regular cricket spectators like Google CEO and IIT Kharagpur graduate Sundar Pichai.
For the uninitiated, India snatched a triumph from the jaws of defeat, chasing 160 despite being 31 for 4 at one point.
The last 3 overs of the chase, in particular, left un-erasable imprints on the viewers as former Team India captain Virat Kohli took the bowlers to cleaners as India successfully chased 48 off that period.
IND vs PAK aftermath: Sundar Pichai gives a brutal reply to Pakistani troller
On the celebratory occasion of Diwali, Indian-American Google CEO Pichai took to Twitter to share his wishes.
He added that he was celebrating the grand festival by re-watching the last 3 overs of Team India’s 2022 T20 WC chase versus Pakistan.
Happy Diwali! Hope everyone celebrating has a great time with your friends and family.
🪔 I celebrated by watching the last three overs again today, what a game and performance #Diwali #TeamIndia #T20WC2022— Sundar Pichai (@sundarpichai) October 24, 2022
His tweet, however, offended a few PAK fans and one of them typed a mean reply to Sundar Pichai, asking him to watch the first 3 overs of the IND vs PAK match instead.
His tweet read: “you should watch 1st three overs”.
The fan wanted to refer to Pakistan bowling’s first 3 overs where both Rohit and KL Rahul failed to counter the fire-breathing duo of Naseem Shah and Shaheen.
However, his poor use of English made him look like a dud as Sundar Pichai gave a savage reply to the Pakistan fan, saying that he did enjoy the brilliant spell of Bhuvi and Arshdeep Singh in the IND vs PAK match’s first 3 overs.
Did that too:) what a spell from Bhuvi and Arshdeep

Notably, India had accounted for Babar and also troubled Md. Rizwan and Shan Masood in the first three overs of the game.
King Kohli was adjudged the Man of the Match in yesterday’s clash, remaining unbeaten on 82 off just 54 balls to take India home.
If Kohli’s knock and the Men in Blue’s win in the IND vs PAK match weren’t enough to make this Diwali fun, Sundar Pichai brutalizing a mean Pakistan fan on the eve makes sure that crackers will burst in each and every corner of the Indian subcontinent.
