Following their recent Pak Vs. India match, Pakistan’s national cricket team captain, Babar Azam, and wicketkeeper-batsman, Mohammad Rizwan, have chosen to disable the comment section on their Instagram posts. This decision comes in response to the intense reactions to their defeat, as they seek to shield themselves from mean-spirited and derogatory comments.
Indian netizens left critical comments on Azam and Rizwan’s Instagram accounts after India’s victory in the match held on October 14. These comments targeted both their professional and personal lives.
In contrast, Pakistan struggled in the highly anticipated match, managing to score only 191 runs. India secured a notable 7-wicket victory, with Rohit Sharma’s impressive 86 runs, featuring 6 fours and sixes, sealing the win.
In light of this online backlash, the players have taken measures to restrict comments on their Instagram posts, aiming to insulate themselves from further criticism.
