Another journalist Farid Khan echoed the sentiments of his co-journalist and said, “Blast in Mudpipe cafe in Bangalore. Hope everyone is safe.

Did a bomb blast really happen in Bangalore?

According to reports, the bomb blast did not take place in Bangalore. Rather a cylinder blast had taken place, but the PAK media propagated as if a bomb blast has occurred near the team hotel where the players stayed.

Pakistanis spreading misinformation about the cylinder blast ensured that:

  1. They will cry & still won’t get a visa for any of these.
  2. Their team will face the wrath of the crowd in each one of these

This tweet was put out by an Indian fan who thinks Pakistan are crying for not giving proper attention to them. To note PAK media and fans are yet to get visas for the World Cup. Barring a few journalists, the presence of Pak supporters is not there for the team. Pak head coach Mickey Arthur also expressed his disappointment on the way IND vs PAK match panned out in Ahmedabad.

“Look, I’d be lying if I said it didn’t. It didn’t seem like an ICC event to be brutally honest. It seemed like a bilateral series; it seemed like a BCCI event. I didn’t hear ‘Dil Dil Pakistan’ coming through the microphones too often tonight.” Arthur, however, said that the lack of support in the crowd could not be used as an excuse for the team’s heavy loss to India.

“So yes, that does play a role, but I’m not going to use that as an excuse because for us it was about living the moment, it was about the next ball, and it was about how we were going to combat the Indian, the Indian players tonight,” he added.
