India lost to Pakistan by 10 wickets in last year’s T20 World Cup. India’s bowler Mohammed Shami came under criticism for bowling poorly in that match. At the end of the match, Mohammed Shami was attacked by religious hatred. But this time he replied to the taunts made about him.
Pakistan defeated India by 10 wickets on October 24, 2021 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, which was the first win against India in 13 appearances in ODIs, T20 World Cups. Shami conceded 43 runs in 3.5 overs in that match. Soon after the match, netizens started insulting Shami’s religion. Many say that he bowled badly against Pakistan as he was a Muslim.
But this time, the Indian pace bowler gave a strong reply to that. Shami said, “There is no cure for such an ugly disease. Those who insult religion are not real Indians. They can never be fans and supporters of Indian cricket. ‘
Shami added, “If I thought of someone as a role model, I would never say anything flippant about them. I didn’t mind the words of those who made nasty comments about me. How uneducated they are is evident in their behavior. ‘
When netizens were criticising Shami in the incident four months ago, former India captain Virat Kohli spoke in his favour. He said, “Those who take a dig at people only for religious reasons are cowards. ‘
