Journalist Shekhar Gupta Called it "Pakistani Fans" Overreaction
This is criminal. Pakistani fans are also overdoing their anger with a team that just defeated England, and nearly put one past Australia too. This is a pretty good team. They lost to a better team, India. It isn’t the end of the world. https://t.co/uva0x7aUvZ
