Indian cricketer Shikhar Dhawan brutally trolled the Pakistan cricket team for their poor fielding during the PAK vs AUS World Cup warm-up game at Rajiv Gandhi Stadium in Hyderabad on Tuesday. After being put to bowl, Babar Azam and Co. were punished by Australian batters as they posted 351/7 in 50 overs. While the pitch played its part, dropped catches and poor fielding didn’t help Men in Green’s cause as well.
One of the incident that caught the attention was the comical fielding by Wasim and Nawaz in 23rd over. Marnus Labuchagne had nudged Haris Rauf’s delivery towards square leg for a couple. Nawaz and Wasim, who were coming from deep, left it for each other which resulted in a boundary.

The video of the misfield soon became viral on social media. Indian opener Shikhar Dhawan also couldn’t help himself and trolled Pakistan team for poor fielding attempt.
“Pakistan & fielding never ending love story 🥰😄😄 #PakistanFielding #PakCricket”, Dhawan tweeted on X.
Notably, this is not the first instance where Pakistan’s poor fielding was at display. The Men in Green, which is known for its poor fielding, has dropped catches in many important matches.
