India vs Pakistan match in any format of the game is an emotion, and fans from both nations are heavily invested in the contest. India taking on Pakistan is a roller-coaster ride, and not only the players, but the fans also feel the pressure of the contest. A similar event occurred during the Asia Cup match between the two sides.

Due to the Pahalgam attack in April, the Indian fans were angry that the nation was playing against Pakistan, but that didn’t stop some of the ardent Indian supporters from attending the contest to cheer for the Men in Blue.

Mixed emotions as Indian fan cheekily mocks Pakistan fan with a hug

In the Asia Cup match, Pakistan won the toss and Salman Ali Agha decided to bat first against India. The decision didn’t pay off as the Men in Green lost Saim Ayub for a first-ball duck, and then Mohammad Haris followed him back to the pavilion as his poor run continues.


Jasprit Bumrah delivered the killer blow as Haris had no answer, and his catch was safely taken by Hardik Pandya. The Indian crowd erupted in joy as Pakistan had lost two wickets in quick succession. In the heat of the joyous moment, one of the Indian supporters cheekily mocked a Pakistan fan, and then went onto hug him as the Pakistan fan looked dejected with Haris’ wicket.

The moment was caught on the cameras as contrasting emotions were shown, with one side cheering for the wicket, and the other disappointed.

Boycott IND-PAK trends as tension heats up

The two nations, India and Pakistan, have had tense relations in the last few months, and when the Asia Cup schedule was announced, Indian fans were furious and they wanted the team to boycott the entire event. However, BCCI went ahead with their plans, and the Indian team was locked in to play vs Pakistan.

The Indian fans decided to boycott the match, showcasing solidarity with the Indian soldiers, a move which was applauded by many.
