Just as he posted this picture a few hours after Pakistan’s loss, it went viral across both nations and cricket fans didn’t stop themselves from commenting on Akmal’s picture.
The picture has already got more than 22k likes and 211 comments from cricket fans of both Pakistan and Indian teams.
Umar Akmal’s picture was retweeted by 636 people on the social media platform as they showed sympathy with the former batter.
Earlier, Pakistan faced a heartbreaking loss in the opening game against India with the narrowest of margins as the Indian team chased down the target of 160 on the penultimate delivery of the match.
This loss can certainly hurt Pakistan’s T20 World Cup 2022 campaign as they will have to perform really well from here to grab the semi-final ticket.
Pakistan had posted a competitive total of 159/8 in their 20 overs after crucial half-century knocks from Shan Masood and Iftikhar Ahmed.
Pakistan bowlers started really well as they choked the Indian top order dismissing Rahul, and Rohit for single-digit scores.
However, the Indian team made a significant comeback as Virat Kohli and Hardik Pandya produced a 113-run partnership for the fifth wicket and took the game to the final over.
The final over bowled by Mohammad Nawaz was a rollercoaster ride as it included a couple of wickets, a no-ball, and a free hit, and the score was eventually chased down by Team India on the last delivery.
