It’s fair to call the Pakistan cricket team’s entry into the T20 World Cup finals nothing short of a miracle. From almost getting knocked out of the tournament to securing a place in the finals, every cricket fan is over the moon and that happiness doubled after the Indian cricket team lost the semifinals against England on Thursday. While fans and celebrities celebrated Pakistan’s entry into the finals after 13 long years, they also trolled India on its defeat —- arch-rivals for a reason, always.
It all started with Indian cricketer Irfan Pathan’s tweet on how the “neighbouring country” may have won but they still don’t have grace — and that was enough to trigger all cricket enthusiasts who patiently waited for India’s loss to burn Pathan’s comment to the ground.
Padosiyon jeet ati jaati rehti hai, lekin GRACE apke bas ki baat nahi hai.

Comedian-actor Ahmed Ali Butt took to his Instagram Stories and wrote, “It’s 92 all over again,” referring to team Pakistan’s glorious win in 1992.
Wajahat Rauf also remarked on the victory and took a jibe at Pathan’s ‘grace’ comment on his Instagram Story. “Says someone who created a whole ‘Mauqa Mauqa’ campaign just to diss their neighbours,” he wrote while correcting the cricketer’s spelling.
Sana Javed also chimed in and asked Pathan to not be salty but support the men in green. “You should also watch the match Pakistan v England final on Sunday along with your neighbours. Not on Twitter though, but from your TV live from the stadium.”
The actor also shared memes on Hardik Pandya’s bowling when Jos Buttler hit a four, and a collage showing how Pakistan won by 10 wickets against India back in 2021, just like England and that’s why they’re the deserving team.
Haroon Shahid also joked about India’s loss. “Irfan Pathan would be telling England to ‘show some grace’ to India,” read his tweet.
Pakistan will play against England in the T20 World Cup final on Sunday.
