The clip quickly gained steam on Twitter with some Pakistani fans not satisfied with the accent used in the episode. According to them, the way Lahori fans are shown talking in the episode is rather Indian than Pakistani.

Indian accent suggests as if joke was meant to be about IPL teams. Perhaps a last minute change. https://t.co/L1tyHdGzoX
