In their latest series against New Zealand, the Pakistani team failed to make an impact, losing all three matches of the T20 International series 3-0. Their performance was widely criticized as lackluster and embarrassing.
On Saturday, during the third One Day International (ODI), Pakistan suffered yet another defeat. The continuous string of losses has triggered strong reactions from fans, many of whom expressed their anger and disappointment. Some supporters even resorted to using harsh and abusive language after the match.
In the second ODI, a controversy broke out involving Pakistani player Shadab Khan. A video that has gone viral on social media shows Shadab getting into an altercation with a fan near the railing. According to reports, the fan had mocked the team, which led to a verbal confrontation. However, security personnel quickly intervened and prevented the situation from escalating further.
Though the incident has not been officially confirmed, it has drawn a lot of attention online. An X (formerly Twitter) user named Imran shared a post criticizing the players, saying that fans were only trying to remind the team of their responsibilities, but the players reacted with anger instead of humility.
The growing gap between fans and players highlights the rising tension surrounding Pakistan’s cricket team amid a wave of poor performances and internal challenges.
