Meanwhile, the Pakistan Prime Minister took the extra mile to troll team India for a loss in the semi-final of the eighth edition of the 20-20 World Cup.

“So, this Sunday, it’s: 152/0 vs 170/0 #T20WorldCup,” tweeted Sharif on his official Twitter handle.

Although these remarks from Sharif didn’t go down well with the Indian fans and they lashed back out at the former for his remarks on Rohit Sharma’s men for their outing against England. Subsequently, former veteran Indian all-rounder Irfan Pathan didn’t miss a chance to hit back at Pakistan's prime minister.

“Aap mein or hum mein fark yehi hai. Hum apni khushi se khush or aap dusre ke taklif se. Is liye khud ke mulk ko behtar Karne pe dhyan nahi hai (This is the difference between you and us. We are happy with ourselves, and you look for happiness when others are in trouble. That is why you are not concentrating on your country's well-being),” replied Pathan in response to Pak PM’s tweet.

Here's what Irfan Pathan replied:

Aap mein or hum mein fark yehi hai. Hum apni khushi se khush or aap dusre ke taklif se. Is liye khud ke mulk ko behtar karne pe dhyan nahi hai.

Meanwhile, the journalists also asked Babar Azam regarding Sharif’s tweet if the men in green are feeling any sort of pressure after this kind of social media post from renowned personalities of the country.

“There is no pressure as such. But sorry to say, I didn't see this tweet, so I have no knowledge of it. But yes, we just try to give our best against the opposition,” replied Babar to journalists during the pre-match press conference ahead of the final against England.

Coming back to Irfan Pathan, he was on the receiving end of criticism and trolling from the Pakistan fans for his “Neighbours lack Grace” remarks following Pakistan’s win against New Zealand in the first semi-final of the eighth edition of the 20-20 World Cup.
