The Pakistani cricketers are getting slammed heavily on the social media platforms as they got defeated by the USA team in a league match which was played yesterday at Grand Prairie Stadium, Texas.
It was the first international match between Pakistan and USA and this win is more special for USA as they are playing in the T20 World Cup for the first time. It won’t be wrong to say that the USA team proved themselves superior to the Pakistani side in all the segments, earlier when Pakistan was put to bat first, they kept losing wickets at regular intervals and then their world class bowlers were not able to defend a total of 159 runs as the score got tied and the match went into super over.
Azam Khan, son of Pakistani cricketer Moin Khan, is also a part of this team and he is already a favourite of trollers because of his over-healthy appearance but the trolling increased manifold after the batter got out for a golden duck against USA. Azam Khan got lbw out on the bowling of Nosthush Kenjinge and this further irked Pakistani fans who were in the stadium and few of them started trolling him.
Posters reading, “Azam Khan’t stop eating,” were seen in the stadium and the micro-blogging site X also flooded with reactions, here are some selected tweets:

While returning to the dressing room, Azam Khan was seen staring at a fan in an angry manner, however the reason behind this behaviour is not known.
While trolls targeted Azam Khan, the former Pakistani cricketer Rashid Latif defended Azam Khan by saying that he is an exceptional T20 cricketer who hits well and also plays spinners very well but currently, he is under pressure as he is getting trolled and body shamed as well.
Body shaming is certainly not acceptable, what do you say?
