IND vs BAN: Pakistani Girl Cheers for India in Colombo Despite Barbed Wire Divide

The 2023 Asia Cup is nearing its end. India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka qualified for the Super Four stage of the six-team tournament. Team India has already beaten Sri Lanka and Pakistan in the last four to book their place in the finals. On the other hand, after getting a big win against Pakistan yesterday, Sri Lanka has also cleared the way to the finals. Bangladesh and Pakistan have been knocked out of the title battle. That’s why the India vs Bangladesh match at the Premadasa Stadium in Colombo today is just a regulation match. India wants to test the strength of their reserve bench, while Bangladesh aims to bid farewell to the Asia Cup by winning at least one match.

Rohit Sharma chose to bowl first in today’s match. He and Team India’s think tank want to see how batters perform under artificial light. A bunch of stars like Virat Kohli, Kuldeep Yadav, Hardik Pandya, and Jasprit Bumrah are not in the Indian XI today. Instead, young people like Prasiddha Krishna, and Tilak Varma are playing. Mohammad Shami also entered the field. Even though the Indian stars are on the reserve bench, there is no decline in the enthusiasm of the visitors on the field. Today is not Sri Lanka’s game, but ordinary cricket fans in Colombo wearing India or Bangladesh jerseys. In the meantime, a young cricket fan was framed by the broadcasting channel’s camera. The picture of the young woman with an ocher dress and tricolor painted on her cheeks did not take much time to go viral today.

Many have recognized the young woman. Actually, he is Pakistani. He also gave interviews to the Indian media after the India-Pakistan group stage match. She said that he is a big fan of Virat Kohli. She also expressed his disappointment as Kohli was dismissed for just 4 runs in Kandy. Pakistan has been knocked out of the tournament. However, he came to the field to see his favorite star again today. India’s tricolor is painted on one side, and Pakistan’s green-white flag on the other. The viral young woman is seen to be enthusiastic and open her throat in support of India.
