The Pakistan cricket team faced heavy trolling following their humiliating defeat to India in the 2025 Champions Trophy on Sunday, February 23. With two consecutive losses, Pakistan now risks an early exit from the tournament.
India secured a dominant 6-wicket victory over their arch-rivals, further complicating Pakistan’s campaign. After winning the toss and opting to bat first, Pakistan got off to a promising start, but their innings quickly unraveled.

Indian bowlers kept the pressure on, with Kuldeep Yadav claiming three wickets and Hardik Pandya picking up two, restricting Pakistan to a total of 241 runs. In response, India cruised through the chase with ease. Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill laid a strong foundation with a solid partnership, while Shreyas Iyer contributed as well, ensuring India stayed on the offensive against Pakistan’s bowling attack.

Virat Kohli sealed the victory in style, scoring his 51st century and hitting the winning runs to guide India to a 6-wicket win. While Pakistan still has a slim chance of staying in the tournament, their prospects of advancing look increasingly bleak.

Deep down a part of me always believed that one day Babar Azam would silence his critics like me by winning something big. But the fact that he has failed once again in another ICC tournament. Just sad and disappointing.

Out of all the perpetrators who are behind the downfall of our cricket, i pray for the worst end of Mohsin Naqvi the most, Pakistan cricket won’t see any good day as long as he’s chairman, it’s that simple.

Pakistanis are celebrating Kohli’s century. But in India, if someone even posts on Social Media or keep WhatsApp Status about Babar, First a Police case is filed, and then the threat of NSA, PSA, UAPA, and sedition looms over them. pic.twitter.com/FqJsBjKooE

Aquib Javed ruined a 15-member ODI squad that won three away series on the trot—beating Australia in Australia, whitewashing (3-0) South Africa in South Africa. After disrespecting greats such as Gary and Gillespie, Aquib build an Lahore Qalandars squad for international tourney!

I think Cricket Twitter folks who bootlick Naqvi for nice stadium Saar are the biggest beghairats.
The guy is a literal mass murder, not even 6 months since the Islamabad Massacre and you fuckers have shamelessly covered it up for your stupid cricket matches aur udhar bhi L hai.
