Pakistan cricket team’s playing style has been the subject of ridicule on social media where netizens often mock the players for not being alert enough or not giving their best to defend some runs for their team or catch a ball. Now, a new video has gone viral where social media users have also raised questions about the Pakistan team’s playing practices.
In the video that went viral recently with the title “Practice makes perfect,” Pakistani players can be seen lining up for catching practice, but the ball, unfortunately, goes between the two fielders. In the second half of the video, during a match between India and Pakistan in Colombo (perhaps from last year’s 50-over Asia Cup), Gill hits the ball towards the slips, but it goes straight between the first and second slips, creating a boundary for the men in blue.
As mentioned earlier, this is not the first time that a video of the Pakistan national team has gone viral on social media. A video of the Men in Green during the recently concluded T20 World Cup also went viral, with even Indian veterans taking part. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli unable to contain their emotions as they saw the confusion of their opponents.
The two teams met during the league stage of the tournament, where the Rohit Sharma-led team emerged victorious despite being in a crucial situation at one point.
The incident occurred during the 19th over of India’s innings when the Rohit Sharma-led side was heading for a low-scoring finish and every run mattered. Shaheen Shah Afridi bowled a full toss, which Mohammed Siraj cut to the deep and took a single off Arshdeep Singh. The batsmen wanted to take another run, but the fielder already had the ball.
As the fielder threw the ball, Shaheen Shah Afridi failed to catch it, giving the Indian batsmen a chance to steal one more single. The incident left Pakistan captain Babar Azam dismayed while Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, sitting in the Indian dugout, were in splits.
