Former Indian cricketer Irfan Pathan annoyed Pakistan fans after his post on social media website X, which was formerly known as Twitter.
After the match between Pakistan and India in the Asia Cup 2023 was abandoned due to rain on Saturday in Kandy, Pathan posted that “a lot of television sets were saved today for the neighbours”.
However, the post didn’t go down well with the Pakistan fans as they hit back at Pathan in replies.
It must be noted that Pakistan didn't get a chance to bat as persistent rain thwarted their chances of chasing down India's target of 267 runs.
The washout also means that Pakistan have qualified for the Super 4 stage of the tournament.
The arch-rivals will meet once again on September 10 in the Super Four stage should India win their final group game against Nepal on September 4.
Earlier, India were dismissed for 266 after winning the toss and deciding to bat first against Pakistan at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium.
Ishan Kishan and Hardik Pandya scored fifties and brought their side back in the game after India had slipped to 66-4 inside 15 overs.
Pandya (87 off 90) and Kishan (82 off 81) added 138 runs in 141 balls for the fifth wicket.
Pacer Shaheen Afridi was the pick of the bowlers for Pakistan with figures of 4-35 in 10 overs. He claimed the prized scalps of Pandya, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja.
Haris Rauf and Naseem Shah claimed three wickets each for Pakistan.
