It seems that Cricket is coming back into the light once again.

Our boys in green hit a record score in the final of the T-20 Series on Sunday against Australia with Fakhar hitting his career best and alongside his teammates, defeated Australia by six wickets.

Suffice to say, it was lit.

And it seems our neighbors noticed too, however it didn’t turn out to be the best thing for them.

Former Indian Cricketer (and legend) Mohammad Kaif praised the Pakistani cricket team for their performance in Zimbabwe and unfortunately, was horribly trolled for it.

Like, really horribly.

People all over Social Media in India went OFF on Kaif, calling him a traitor for recognizing Fakhar’s efforts.

Talk about a touchy topic.

Lmao, this guy was pretty badly trolled:

Pakistanis, on the other hand, were grateful for the praise and appreciative of the love.

Nothing but love for Kaif and his praises.

You’d think that in 2018, with all of the other issues we have in the world, people wouldn’t care about one cricketer appreciating the game of another cricketer. In fact, if Kaif was praising any other team in the world, this wouldn’t even be a thing.

No? What do you think? Were you offended by his praise? Have Indians been overreacting? Would we do the same? Let us know in the comments below! Love you.
