‘Shameful’ attack on Mohammed Shami after Pakistan beat India, Gambhir, Sehwag completely taken aback
Mohammed Shami attacked Online – Pakistan Beat India: The 31-year-old Shami became the main target after the defeat in Dubai, even though India captain Virat Kohli acknowledged that his side had been “outplayed”.
Hundreds of messages were left on Shami’s Instagram account saying he was a “traitor” and should be thrown out of the Indian team.
Gautam Gambhir, Irfan Pathan, Virender Sehwag all have condemned this attack.
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.

Even I was part of #IndvsPak battles on the field where we have lost but never been told to go to Pakistan! I’m talking about 🇮🇳 of few years back. THIS CRAP NEEDS TO STOP. #Shami

Gautam Gambhir, a former India Test cricketer who has become an MP for the Bharatiya Janata Party, said it was “shameful” that people were celebrating Pakistan’s win.
Jo log Mohammad Shami ke baare mein ghatiya baaten kar rahe hain, unse meri ek hi vinanti hai. Aap cricket na dekhen. Aur aapki kami mehsoos bhi nahi hogi. #Shami #355WicketsforIndia.

Former India batsman VVS Laxman too came out in support of Shami.
Mohammed Shami has been a stellar performer for India for eight years, playing a significant role in many a victory. He can’t be defined by one performance. My best wishes are always with him. I urge fans & followers of the game to support @MdShami11 and the Indian team.

‘Shameful’ attack on Mohammed Shami after Pakistan beat India, Gambhir, Sehwag, Irfan completely taken aback
Mohammed Shami attacked Online: Violence against Muslims in some part of the country was also reported after the emphatic 10-wicket win on Sunday, Pakistan’s first against India at any World Cup.
Cricket clashes between India and Pakistan frequently heighten tensions between the neighbours, who have fought three wars since their independence in 1947.
A student at an engineering and technology institute said dozens of men armed with hockey sticks and batons attacked them as they watched the closing stages of the game.
“They entered our room, switched off the lights and beat us. They destroyed our laptops,” the student told AFP, speaking on condition of anonymity because of fears of more trouble.
“We are safe now and we have support from our college. But we didn’t expect this at all. We are Indians.”
Mohammed Shami attacked Online: The match also sparked violence in neighbouring Bangladesh. Two Pakistan supporters were beaten by India fans as they celebrated the win in one southern district, media reports said.
