New Delhi: The nail-biter clash between India and Pakistan on Sunday saw epic encounter between the two teams as Virat Kohli and Mohammed Rizwan hit solid knocks from this side but eventually the Men in Blue lost the cliffhanger in the final moments, at Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
Soon after the match, Indian bowler Arshdeep Singh became one for the top Twitter trends for dropping the catch, which apparently left the Pakistanis to take advantage & emerge victorious.
Arshdeep Singh became a target of trolls and today, lot many Pakistani handles lapped up the opportunity to throw much at the Indian cricketer and push its dirty agenda.
Many Twitter handles, reportedly from Pakistan, hurled vile abuse at the young pacer and blamed him for India’s 5-wicket loss to Pakistan in Asia Cup 2020.
Arshdeep dropped the catch of Pakistan’s Asif Ali, who later went on to play a match-winning knock of 16 runs off 8 balls in the Super 4 encounter. Till that point, Asif had not yet opened his account.
A couple of Pakistani users including some journalists took to Twitter to add salt to the wound and also push forward its Khalistani agenda against India.
Some of the vitriolic tweets from Pakistan dubbed Arshdeep as Khalistani while many others sought to fan the ‘secessionist’ agenda & propaganda against India.

#Arshdeep से लोग नाराज़ कैच छोड़ने को लेकर हैं। वहां कोई और खिलाड़ी भी होता तो उसको लेकर भी लोगों का ग़ुस्सा ऐसे ही निकलता।
पर कुछ लोग अलग एंगल देकर एजेंडा चलाने में लगे हैं।
यही एजेंडा कुछ तथाकथित बुद्धिजीवियों और पाकिस्तानी एजेंडाबाजों ने #MohammadShami को लेकर भी चलाया था।

Wikipedia officials summoned
In yet another controversy related to Arshdeep’s Wikipedia page, he was described as someone belonging to Khalistani camp. Taking into Khalistani slur at the cricketer, the IT Ministry has summoned Wikipedia officials and has sought an explanation as to how he was described as Khalistani on Wikipedia page.
A flurry of tweets from Pak troll accounts using Khalistan or Khalistani narrative show how their IT cells are trying to build an agenda agnst Sikhs in India
