The former Indian cricketer Wasim Jaffer is known for his superb online presence and for trolling his foreign counterparts whenever they say something against India or Indian cricket and recently, he did the same with Mickey Arthur, the director of the Pakistani cricket team.

Pakistan suffered a 7-wicket defeat at the hands of India as the hosts of the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 dominated the cricket match which was played yesterday at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad.

After the match, while addressing the press, Mickey Arthur said that the match looked more of a BCCI event rather than an ICC event and he felt that it was a bilateral series rather than a World Cup match. He was not happy with the Pakistani team not getting much support in the stadium but he added that he would not use it as an excuse despite the fact that it also played a role in their defeat. He added that for them, it was all about living each moment and to decide to how to play against the Indian players.

This statement didn’t go down well with Wasim Jaffer so he took to X and wrote, “I wondered why Pakistan lost home series vs both Aus and Eng, but thanks to Mickey Arthur now I know it was because stadium DJ didn’t play ‘Dil Dil Pakistan’ enough and majority of fans were wearing blue jerseys :)”

Pakistan was thrashed by both Australia and England in home test series, while Australia defeated Pak by 1-0 in the 3-match test series, England was quite brutal as it whitewashed Pakistan by 3-0.

Mickey Arthur’s statement is not liked by few former Pakistani cricketers as well including Wasim Akram who says that he is not able to understand as to what to make out of this statement. Wasim Akram adds that they want to know what their plans against Kuldeep Yadav were and if Mickey Arthur thinks that he can get away by making such statements, then he is wrong.

Wasim Akram who is quite furious states that winning and losing is a part of the game but they want to know the reasons behind their team’s defeat and what went wrong.

India is going pretty strong with 3 wins in 3 matches and we hope that this time Rohit Sharma-led team will lift the trophy. Best of luck team India!
