There wasn't much that went Pakistan's way in the ICC Champions Trophy Group A match against India. Batting first, Pakistan put in a laboured approach to reach a total of 241 runs on Sunday. India, thanks to Virat Kohli's sublime hundred, reached the target with more than 7 overs to spare. While the clash was pretty straightforward, with only the bat and the ball doing the talking, there was one moment that left fans a little infuriated. Pakistan spinner Abrar Ahmed's send-off to Shubman Gill, who had scored a century in the last match against Bangladesh, triggered a plethora of reactions on social media.
While Gill failed to convert his start into a big score, it was Kohli who decimated Pakistan yet again with his brilliant batting. As Kohli took the team home, all but sealing a place in the semi-finals, Abrar became a high-profile target on social media.
Fans didn't just troll the Pakistan star with posts but also unleashed memes, mocking him for the act in the middle when Gill was dismissed.
