New Delhi: Excitement among the cricketing world is at an all-time high as arch-rivals India and Pakistan gear up for the clash in their opening game of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021 in Dubai on Sunday.
Both teams will open their campaigns in the Super 12 stage of the T20 World Cup with what is billed to be a mouth-watering clash. After almost over two years, Virat Kohli and Co. will face-off against Babar Azam-led Pakistan and rekindle the age-old rivalry.
Food delivery company Zomato recently made a tweet from India’s side about the match, to which Karim Pakistan responded on Pakistan’s behalf. Soon after, fans from both the sides came face-to-face on the microblogging site.
Zomato also mentioned Pakistan Cricket Board in one of the tweets and wrote, ‘Dear PCB, if you need burgers and pizza, we are just one message away.’ To this Karim Pakistan responded, “Don’t worry, we are delivering them free burgers and pizzas. And sending you the Fantastic Tea too”. (Referring to the Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman’s incident in 2019)
Karim’s tweet fueled the matter, with netizens from both the sides trolling one another brutally, sharing jokes and memes on Twitter.
Here’s what Twitteratis have to say ahead of the big match tonight:
