We as Pakistanis know one thing very clearly—the Indian cricket team is very good. Their talent, their consistency, their hard work on the field—no one can deny it. In fact, many people in Pakistan are genuine fans of Indian players. We cheer for good cricket, no matter who plays it.
But after this recent India vs Pakistan match, something changed. And it wasn’t about the runs or wickets—it was about respect.
⚖️ Umpiring That Felt One-Sided
Yes, India played well. But when decisions start looking one-sided, it leaves a bitter taste.
- Close LBW calls went ignored when Pakistan appealed.
- Quick decisions were given in India’s favor.
- Key turning points felt tilted.
It’s not about losing a match—it’s about losing faith in fairness.
🤝 No Handshake, No Respect
The biggest heartbreak wasn’t even the umpiring. It was the Indian players walking away without shaking hands.
For years, this rivalry has been fierce but respectful. Win or lose, a handshake at the end showed the world that sportsmanship comes first. This time, it didn’t happen.
And that’s what hurt the most. Not just the Pakistani team, but also the millions of Pakistani fans who love cricket—including those who admire Indian players.
💔 Why It Matters More Than the Scoreboard
Cricket is not just a sport in our region—it’s an emotion, a culture, a shared passion. Families sit together, kids dream of playing like their heroes, and fans respect good cricket whether it comes from Pakistan or India.
But when the game ends with bitterness instead of respect, it breaks that bond. It tells young fans that rivalry is more important than humanity.
🌍 Our Message as Pakistani Fans
Yes, India has a great team. Yes, they played well. We respect that. But sportsmanship is greater than talent.
When you don’t shake hands, when decisions feel unfair—you don’t just win a match, you lose hearts.
And in the long run, hearts matter more than trophies.
