Sarfaraz Ahmed in shalwar kameez has triggered the internet

So in case you haven’t been living under a rock, we’re sure you’re well aware of how Sarfaraz was under fire for wearing shalwar kameez when he went to meet the Queen of England.

After the incessant trolling, Captain Sarfaraz responded to all the haters in the best way ever

Beautiful, simple and to the point. No drama. Just love for the nation and our culture, and we’re living for it.

But things just took a turn for the better when our neighbors came through with full support, defending Sarfaraz and his shalwar kameez look

I don't understand why people have pain in their ass when one have to follow the national tradition. If @ICC and #UnitedKingdomQueen do not have any problem. Then why you. Respect Him as human plz. @SarfarazA_54 you are right bro👍. Just keep it up✌

People just couldn’t help but praise how well Sarfaraz carried his culture, and how great he looked

Sir, with due respect i would like to differ. He is looking good, he is comfortable, he is representing his culture. This is the best he did.

The fact that he stood for his culture gained him some massive respect across the border

This is something commendable. Instead of criticising him try to see that he stood for his culture where he could've easily followed alien western culture

Many pointed out the fact that Indians and Pakistanis share the same culture and that we have to go beyond judging people based on their clothes

It's really sad that even in such a competitive world, we are judging based on clothes. Let me remind you sir, we Indians too have almost same culture and it's good if @SarfarazA_54 wants to promote his culture. Also, GROW UP.

Even some super appropriate history lessons were served

I was not expecting this from you. Mahatma Gandhi met King in London in Dhoti. His advisers called him dont do that ,he replied I want to show that king robbed me n my country,I have nothing to luxury.

And people also wished that Kohli also represented Indian culture in his traditional attire just like Sarfaraz did

Well said bro…. I wish Kholi went in a traditional attire. Total respect for Sarfaraz. Supporting Pakistan in today's match.

And they poured in some more suggestions

What's wrong? If it was me I would have probably gone in a traditional south Indian attire. That's my wish. That's Indian, That's subcontinent's culture. There is nothing wrong in going in a western attire but there is no need to ridicule someone for wearing traditional attire

Even actress Gauahar Khan couldn’t hold herself back from defending the Pakistani Captain while praising every bit of his choice

“As you have an identity crisis yourself,” OOOOH SNAP!

!He is representing his culture, n looking v handsome in that! Every human being has the right to wear what he does ,with dignity n pride!But I guess u wouldn’t know anything about belonging or representing ,as u have identity crisis urself ! #hateSpreadingMachine 🤬 https://t.co/pWDZJk9Qlf

I mean, it isn’t an exaggeration when we say that Cricket has the power to bring people together. Did you ever even imagine Indians coming at full swing to defend our Captain – even though we’re rightly each other’s arch-nemesis? I didn’t, and I guess I have now seen everything that the world had to offer and I’m LIVING for this India-Pakistan dosti.

What do you think about the entire ordeal? Let us know in the comments.
