Common people of India are not at all pleased with the slamming which Pakistan cricket team captain Sarfraz Ahmad is receiving for his lack of proper English-speaking skills. In fact, many are taking to Twitter and Facebook to troll those certain Indian online media outlets who are making fun of Sarfraz.
Pakistan, who are the finalists in an ICC Champions Trophy tournament for the first time after their shock defeat of hosts England on Wednesday, June 14, could possibly meet India in the final of the tournament on Sunday.
Only if the challenge from Bangladesh is swiftly dealt with by the Men in Blue on Thursday, June 15!
Sarfraz, one of the key figures of Pakistan's unexpected impressive campaign so far, has become a butt of ridicule following his usage of broken English and laughable grammar during press conferences.

He has also been trolled miserably for this.
However, surprisingly, support has come in from India. Online satirical Indian portals like All India Bakchod (AIB) and hugely-popular Rajnikanth vs CID Facebook page have been blasted by their own countrymen for taking a dig on Sarfraz's English-speaking skills.
Comes as no surprise that even the Pakistani users on social media are congratulating those Indian fans for taking the stand and supporting their skipper.
Aman ki Asha, after all?
Thank You people across the border. Sports connects us big time! https://t.co/leCIVBqIf1

Sarfraz going on to show that speaking English isn't the real talent, beating the English is. Sweet sweet justice
