Their doing so meant showing support for the India military that is trying to impose war on Pakistan.
“Sad to see war hysteria in Indian cricket team with great players like @imVkohli & @msdhoni leading it...Millions young players of subcontinent idealise such stars. Heroes shouldn’t act like losers.. they should learn lesson from Sidhu… @sherryontopp” tweeted Tohid.
Haven’t faced such trolling since I am on Twitter. It suggests war hysteria not only restricted to Indian cricket team but unfortunately widespread in India https://t.co/YxlewpdmYw
