After India’s defeat to Pakistan, Virender Sehwag accuses Mohammed Shami of a “online attack.”
After India’s 10-wicket loss to Pakistan on Sunday, former India opener Virender Sehwag spoke out in support of paceman Mohammed Shami, who was harassed by online trolls. After returning figures of 0/43 in 3.5 overs, Shami was exposed to a lot of teasing.
The online attack on Mohammad Shami is shocking and we stand by him. He is a champion and Anyone who wears the India cap has India in their hearts far more than any online mob. With you Shami. Agle match mein dikado jalwa.

“We condemn the online attack against Mohammad Shami and stand with him. He is a champion, and anyone who wears the India cap cares for India far more than any online mob. Shami, I’m with you. Agle match mein dikado jalwa, agle match mein dikado jalwa, “Sehwag took to Twitter to express himself.
When we support #TeamIndia, we support every person who represents Team India. @MdShami11 is a committed, world-class bowler. He had an off day like any other sportsperson can have.
I stand behind Shami & Team India.

On Sunday, Shami had a bad day, and it was in his over that Pakistan completed the 152-run chase, with Mohammad Rizwan scattering the Indian pacer across the Dubai stadium. India and Pakistan had previously played five times in T20 World Cups, with the former winning all five times. Pakistan, on the other hand, put an end to India’s supremacy in a brutal fashion, winning by 10 wickets to set the tone for the competition.
Shami was included in India’s squad for the ICC T20 World Cup after a great season in the Indian Premier League, where he ended sixth in wicket-taking with 19 scalps from 14 games.
India’s next T20 World Cup encounter is against New Zealand.
We love you @MdShami11 🇮🇳 #Shami
