India and Pakistan locked horns at the T20 World Cup match in which the Men in Green defeated Men in Blue by 10 wickets. It was a one-sided match in which the Pakistan team came up with flying colors.
The Indian team came under severe attack online and cricketer Mohammad Shami, who was the most expensive among the bowlers, was abused by a section of netizens.
However, many cricketers including Sachin Tendulkar condemned the criticism and abuses coming Shami's way.
