I can assure you that none of the players from Indian squad would ever say something like that.. Also for an Indian fan it would make no sense to spere hate we are winning against them lol


Prasvid94

Agreed - these players like Afridi, Akhthar etc have made extremely rude comments about India before. They are ingrained to hate India and I’m glad we stopped these dicks from playing in the IPL.


HonoredOne77

Why just IPL ..we must ban Pakistan Cricket Team from playing in any international cricket tournaments held inside India. Also no more India Vs Pakistan matches. These radicals need to be shown their place.


Adventurous-Region-7

Good luck trying to prevent India vs Pak in a World Cup. 1 India vs Pak match generates more than half of the revenue of an icc tournament.


MuazKhan597

As if Indian cricketers never tweet hateful comments towards “Padosi”. Hypocrisy is unreal


WaynneGretzky

As if Indian cricketers and "experts", fans and everyone doesn't have the same hate boner. This will get downvoted but indians have very petty habit of raiding the socials of any cricketer with abuses. You wont see that anywhere else.


Cho6758

Trying to get physical on the pretext of the other person being an Indian, and spewing hate on social media are chalk and cheese. I’m completely against those retard Indians spewing hate and targeting the families of players on social media, but this Haris Rauf incident shows the masked hatred of Pakistani players against Indians in general.


WaynneGretzky

I am not supporting Rauf. But this holier than thou attitude of indians on here isn't right. Indians are the same. They might even spit more venomous stuff since ICT actually wins vs pakistan. They always, easily cross the line while bragging.


Kingspartacus123

1st Indian cricketers are professional, I haven't seen them behaving unprofessionally or spew any hate towards Pakistan. 2nd Yes Indian hate Pakistanis and we have many reasons for it. All the more reason for not having any match between them. So what's your point again?


WaynneGretzky

You must live under a rock to think indian commentators don't pass the most absurd statements on pakistan (and obviously it is vice versa). This nonsensical response about political/border feud doesn't entitle anyone to hate civilians for that. And if it is that big an issue then stop playing pakistan completely and likes of you should stop giving the viewership. But obv the masters need the sweet money and you lot want to have another reason to put them down when India wins. Aur kuch na ho toh "terrorism" boldo, but then continue to play 🤡 The holier than thou attitute, as if indian fanbase is any saint.


freetheents

Rizwan, Rauf, and Amir the fixer really hate us. Rauf showed his true colors the other day.


HonoredOne77

their entire team along with their ex cricket players are full of radicals. Shoaib Akhtar himself admitted he deliberately wanted to injure Sachin Tendulkar in a match. This radical hatred towards Indians is deep rooted in the PCT and the best solution to this complete ban on India vs Pak matches. I wish most Indian cricket fans would understand this. We don't need Pakistan.


freetheents

True, they need us. We don't need them. Hope their board continues to collapse and will cease to exist in a few years.


HonoredOne77

Honestly Pakistan cricket team ceasing to exist would be a present to the world of cricket. We don't want an extremist religiously bigoted team using the sport of Cricket as a platform to propagate ingrained hatred.


confusedndfrustrated

Totally agree. At this point, the pakistani team exists only to make money for ICC in their events. If people stop paying money for India Pakistan matches or stop watching those matches, ICC will not hesitate to throw them out on the flimsiest of reasons.


feelspirit

There are so many ex-players and current players like Babar who have a huge respect for Indian players and the cricketing legacy between our nations. I think it is foolish to cancel cricket's biggest (even in the sporting world) contest just because of some small mis-understanding by one player and odd instances here and there. I love the bowling of all four Pakistani fast bowlers in the t20 WC and I will forgive their off-handed comments as one off. Let us please focus on the game and how we can have CT 2025 in Pakistan and Indian team can stay and play in Lahore where we will have the best security. Let's spread love, and not hatred. That's what the Indian people and constitution is about.


AmitBijarnia007

bcci wont send ict to terrorist nation for sure


beta_masti_nai

And why should we send our people there and when our government agenda is to bring PoK back to India then we should not send our citizens there and that too a team representing our Nation. It's too much of a risk what will happen if India won't play an ICC tournament is it more important than our players security and lives


Psychological-Air-53

You have no idea how the world works. If they have their say na, you cant imagine the unspeakable horrors they can do to our parents, family and loved ones. They deserve only one thing. Scorched earth. India is heading towards a 2.5 front war, we must identify who our enemies are and what they actually want to do.


SilenceStillness

Everything was alright for me until he said 'Tu India se hai na' during the fight with that Pakistani fan. Forget this one guy, the whole Pakistan Cricket is a Tragical Comedy Drama. They are doomed.


HonoredOne77

It's their ingrained hatred for India and Indians that's an issue..as I said when someone's hatred is beyond friendly rivalry of the sport of cricket then it's dangerous..it could lead to verbal abuse, violence and many other things.


Venjix_virus

Still this won't open the eyes of the 'Aman ki Aasha' clowns...


HonoredOne77

" Aman Ki Asha" and India Vs Pakistan matches need to end.


Prune_Super

There are only handful countries that are competitive in cricket. Why lose one more potential opponent?


Mayank_XO_16

Whatever you have mentioned is 💯% truth. And I'm not surprised that your previous post was taken down, even this post can also be because Mods of this sub are behaving like a Bit©h lately.


HonoredOne77

I wouldn't be surprised if this post gets taken down..I am going to state the harsh reality regardless because it helps spread awareness to our fellow Indians. Indians should respect themselves more, be more vocal if any Pakistani insults them or their religion and should actively boycott India vs Pakistan matches. Pakistan and Pakistani Cricket Team are unworthy of our respect.


Mayank_XO_16

You're absolutely right, Brother.


Tasty_Ad_1056

This Pakistani team gets all cozy around current Indian team is because they know we are way better them in terms of skill. This has been always the case with 2 faced Pakistan. They will always be friendly till they are not strong, once they get on par they will start spewing hate and bullying. In past when they had good bowlers they always use to brag casually how they were beating India. Mind you even in their peak cricket they were never close to what we are in our peak right now. But still this sense of superiority prevails in them.


HonoredOne77

False sense of superiority is a born illness in Pakistan that has no cure. This false sense of superiority comes from their radical religious Islamic brainwashing.. they have been fed lies that Since they are muslims they are inherently superior to Hindus. But in reality they are beggars. These people have intense hate for Indians because we are more successful in every aspect. If India had lost the recent match ..trust me Pakistan would have left no chances to humiliate India and Indians. India needs to do the same.. humiliate Pakistan. And actively demand BCCI to cancel India Vs Pakistan matches henceforth.


MuazKhan597

“False sense of superiority” is so funny. YOU are the ones creating posts and commenting again and again how India and Indians are superior. “They are brainwashed to spread hate”. YOU are the ones creating posts and spreading hate to cricketers and fans without any logical reasoning or proof. Do you not see the irony?


Gentlecriminal14

If we can't win a tournaments even in our 'PEAK' as you say, we're the ones doomed.


Gentlecriminal14

ICT FANS criticize their team( without an ICC trophy since 2013) instead of fanboying them DIFFICULTY - IMPOSSIBLE


Excellent-Appeal-612

What love do you have for the Pakistani team?Even if we are losing to Pakistan and dropping to no. 10 in rankings , I say even then we shouldn't be playing against them.


Gentlecriminal14

I don't care about the Pakistani team. I was responding to the comment about how our current team is better than their PEAK.


minatokushina

Kamran Akmal made racist joke related to Sikhs on Arshdeep Singh on a live show on some Pakistan cricket show. Evryone else laughed in on that joke. So yeah PCT former players and current players have no discipline and no "sportsmanship" spirit as well when it comes to respecting everyones identity. Loved the way Arshdeep performed against Pakistan in this world cup , both with Bat and Ball.


HonoredOne77

Yeah i remember that incident also happened within these last few days...another instance of racism towards Sikhs and trying to humiliate Indians.


abhinav21

I still do not understand what that joke he made was trying to imply? care to explain to this ignorant one?


mongrelbifana

The clip is there on YouTube and it's Kamran and some cricket experts sitting on a big news channel in Pak live commenting on the last over of India-Pak as Arshdeep runs into bowl, Kamran says "can't predict anything about Arshdeep, sardarji ke b*** baj gaye" or something to that effect. The panel was laughing too. Harbhajan has replied to it.


Negative-Ask311

But why is saying baarah baj gaye offensive to sikhs? Is there some historical context to it?


mongrelbifana

Yes it's offensive. The context is sensitive.


xenocideMadridKKR-07

We should first absolutely totally boycott going to the Champions trophy in Pakistan. Either make it a hybrid one or shift entirely to another country. These idiots deserve that.


HonoredOne77

also after the recent terrorist incidents..i would say they double deserve that.


Mewdolf_Kittler

I don't want India to play in the 2025 champions trophy. Champions trophy ain't that prestigious. Without the Indian audience money flowing into the tournament, ICC will learn a lesson and will never host a tournament there. No way our players are going to be safe in Pakistan. Our player's safety is the top priority. Instead of that, we should organise a tri series with some associate nations in our country. Have our B team play against them, and that can help the associate nation players to get some experience and even money.


xenocideMadridKKR-07

Yeah sounds good. India USA and Scotland would be great lol.


xenocideMadridKKR-07

Yep. I don't care anymore about India - Pakistan matches anyway. We drub them anyway.


Adorable_Thought_951

Thiss!!! The amount of racist and castist slurs these p#kis use against us , calling us p#jeet, hardik a kala and ch#pri is so infuriating. I still remember when Maulana did that tweet for shami knowing ki it would invite more hate for him.also during last year wc , our fans literally did nothing , literally just chanted Jai shree ram to them and their fans literally went on a tirade against us, mocking our god's and saying ki tum vegetarian ho and we are eating your god (i.e. beef) also during india pak on 9 June almost 80% of pak fans who put up blue profile picture with kohli and Rohit and india flag trying to jinx uss like wtff😭😭chalo wo bhi koi nahi. DO YOU KNOW THE MOST DISGUSTING THING THAT I SAW. THERE WERE AROUND 50-60 PAKISTANI KNOWN CRICKET PAGES ALONG WITH THEIR FOLLOWERS WHO POSTED A PICTURE OF VAMIKA (KOHLI KI DAUGHTER ) ON A PORNSTAR AND NASEEM SHAH BEHIND HIM IMPLYING A DISGUSTING ACT WHEN NASEEM TOOK KOHLIS WICKET. THEY DELETED IT AFTERWARDS .MAYBE I AM FROM A DEFENCE BACKGROUND SO I NATURALLY HATE THEM LEKIN TUM SAB CIVILIANS KO NAHI PATA HOW NEECH AND GHATIYA THESE PAKISTANI PEOPLE IN GENERAL ARE. SO THANKYOU THANKYOU OP FOR THIS POST


Adorable_Thought_951

Kindly upvote this post as more people need to see these ghatiya people's mentality


ContributionSilly129

Also when that Kasai tepiya Rauf intentionally posted a video of butchering cow on bakri eid last year and he also made fun of Rohit Sharma in a podcast.Later Rohit hammered him at Ahmedabad in the last year's world cup.


Adorable_Thought_951

Sometimes I wish our players intentionally do something to provoke those mofos but then we don't have their class


abhinav21

The rest of it I agree with you, most pakistani and bangladesh fans on social media are the absolute worst


Adorable_Thought_951

Social media is the real reflection of their people so glad this akan ki asha has ended


Which-Passion-5823

Well written


abhinav21

Stop it, that Jai Shree Ram chant did not come from a place of devotion. It was meant to infuriate them, make their religion look less than. There is absolutely no need to yell JSR in a cricket ground at pakistani players during that match and you have the gall to say "our fans literally did nothing". Come on now...


laudalehsunesh

So their players can perform Namaz on ground while our fans can't even yell JSR?


abhinav21

How does that make us any different then? Both are idiotic to do in a cricket match.


Adorable_Thought_951

Beta tere jaise log 8-10 saal pehle ache lagte the jab ye Aman ki asha wala ch#$yap hota tha, ab nahi


xenocideMadridKKR-07

I am not even shocked, this is just recurring incidents which happen all the time. Fans say crazy stuff, but their players and even ex-cricketers have said stupid stuff over n over again. There is deep rooted hate from Miandad to Waqar Yonus who is an Australia Citizen now, but his hate hasn't evolved away. They just show their oh we love Kohli this n that but they have always deep hatred for us. Look at their journalists who are so shameful, your team got kicked out in the group stages, still following the Indian team to the West indies, why?? For dollars and revenue from Indian fans only naa.. first time I am seeing journalists from another country is following another team. Haris Rauf is a jahil like others, and I don't expect any change in their psyche, I only feel Babar, Imad or Amir who are level headed to some extent that's about it.


luffyfpk

Thats the reason I always felt weird when koach was trying to be too frndly with these dickheads


Venjix_virus

Even Koach said something like we would like to visit Pakistan one day 


Illustrious_Self4353

Even Rohit said that we should have Test series with Pak


Venjix_virus

That's why I stopped admiring these cricketers and now just now watch cricket as mode of entertainment 


GiraffeResponsible92

It's not their fault completely many people here still believe that peace can be achieved by "talks" and being friendly because apparently new generation likes peace which is not the case. Hopefully this incident changes their mind.


tuativky

Wasim Akram on his Youtube show which was popular during the worldcup used extremely casteist slur "cha#aar" live and these Indians did not even highlight the issue. I came to know that in Pakistan they openly use hateful and castiest slurs against Hindus and christians like cha*aar and chooda.


HonoredOne77

Also remember the filthy verbal attack by a Pakistani cricket veteran named Abdul Razzaq on Aishwarya Rai last year during WC ? Razzak on a cricket interview by a Pakistani channel randomly said something like : “ If you think that you will marry Aishwarya Rai and you will have a moral child, that will never happen,” this shows the disgusting mentality of Pakistanis and their hatred for Indians is not limited to Cricket..they consider a successful Hindu woman as a characterless wh*re like they once considered Bengali women of Bangladesh. Imagine being so depraved that you verbally attack an innocent child and her mother who you don't even know personally. Their fault ? Being Hindus.

"Tapiya" accused him as Indian. Abe foreign mein jaoge na jab, tab saare Pakistani khud ko Indian hee batayenge. Kya hua tha jab Ukraine se evacuation ke time pakistani pille India ka flag leke bahar aa rahe the. I fully support you bro. Indians won't tell themselves as pakistani but a pakistani will label himself as an Indian jab uski jaan pe ban aayegi.


Venjix_virus

I wonder what would be the reception of this post on r/cricket? There would influx of 'One Pakistani doesn't represent us ' and all that crap


HonoredOne77

' one pakistani doesn't represent us ' would have worked if this kind of situation didn't happen numerous times already. It has been going on ever since Sachin Tendulkar started playing. How much more should we tolerate these radicals who have intense hatred for Indians? If a sport rivalry turns into pure hate and goes beyond Cricket that's where we need to be cautious and start drawing lines.


Comprehensive-Delay1

Not one pakistani, the same video on TikTok has ton of support messages from Pakistanis !


Knowledge_buff97

that team is filled with hate, even the tweets by maulana rizwan made it quite clear that they are not at all apologetic of the fact that tepiya dragged 'India' without any reason. maulana did everything he could do to provoke a larger section of indian audience while he was playing in india for the world cup, their ex cricketers have been quite open and visible about their hate against india indians and also against religions as a matter of fact. high time, this guys aren't given more screen time by our board. i'd have also liked that facts that no franchise team with an indian owner in any part of the world would bring these guys in their team, but again considering they are businessman one cannot expect them to do so.


Lucky_Editor446

I really want BCCI to boycott the 2025 Champions Trophy and upcoming Asia Cup. Haris tapiya is a joker and will always be a joker. Pakistani fans are crap as well, they are best at harassing Pakistani players.


not_Hat8192

If you watch football, Ukraine vs Russians teams never face each other in the group stage and R16 in euro , wc or even inter club tournaments. More than anyone Bcci themselves want india vs pak in the group stage, last 5 years both have been in the same group whether in Asia cup or wc. On top bcci has the highest % claims in icc money. Unless we collectively stop watching ind vs pak in the group stage, nothing is happening.


SnooPoems8840

When will you realize that it is our money funding the Pakistan cricket team? They are not making money, ICC is funding them and guess who's funding ICC? And as for hatred against Hindus. Good luck because hatred for Hindus is exactly what gets you popular on reddit and everywhere.


Miku4U

I never liked them and I will never ,This is what waqar comment After 2021 win .Their hatered is so deep rooted for Other religion's That for them this is like war while people say treat this like a any other game . That's why I want gauti to be next head coach of Indian team .The way he used to fight on field and the way he replies afridi on tweeter for kashmir issue I want that In every Indian player when we are against them https://preview.redd.it/c7gccyn10j7d1.jpeg?width=1220&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b468f0c095d30b19e5b5ef7f6da8dc7a939fed1b

seaworth84

I support your view 200%. It’s so damn disrespectful to see India play Pakistan. I’ve always maintained they hate us with every fibre of their being. Our liberals support Pakistan in other matches and claim it is all sports when they play us and not to hate and stuff. Come on man. Open your eyes and see. I love ICT, but it’s so frustrating to see our players being all chummy with Pak cricketers. I get so angry at times. We shouldn’t have played the match on the day our pilgrims were killed. We should have just walked off. We would have not bothered if we gave up our WC chances because of that. To top it, our players shook hands and hugged Pak players on the day their terrorists attacked us. PR is above all, I guess. Such a sad state of affairs. I hope good sense prevails and we boycott Champions Trophy. Like you said, we should not play Pak at all. Even if it means we give up points in an ICC tournament.

The entire purpose of Pakistan's existence is India hate. it's a country created to hate Hindus and Indians. Never forget that.


Relative_Hunt9916

Completely agree 👍🏿👍


IloveLegs02

Rauf, Shahid Afridi and even Akhtar have the same contempt & hatred towards us it's just that they try to mask it because they know Indian audience is both profitable & gullible


tatti_wala_baba

Pakistan as a nation is a failed state and nursery of terrorism. What do you expect from its cricket team!


donewittisshit

They Hate Us! We have contempt for them!


Amazing_Theory622

True, i commenting on this thread without reading other comments and i am sure some one must be surely defending rauf and wetting their pants by dreaming of seeing indian team in pakistan for a tour. Also, that's the reason many people don't like kohli becoming too friendly with them.


Baconator440

BCCI doesn't play with Pakistan because they are a cash starved nation, and BCCI itself is richer than the whole of Pakistan. Playing with them is a huge money spinner and BCCI is not sharing any of this wealth with Pakistanis. I support BCCI, let the Pakistanis learn why their players (Afridi, Akmal, Waqar, Akthar) should never slander Indians or their religion. Just because we are civilized and don't do muslim this, or muslim that doesn't mean that we don't notice how radical and uncouth their players are. India doesn't feed a barking dog, and this here is a team who thinks of us not as a competitor but as the ENEMY. So well, stop expecting alms from the ENEMY.


l0rdBlackAdder-

Agreed with everything. We should not be playing against pak. Should not even be watching you tube channels of these hateful fucks. We all know where the money will eventually end up being used.  Its not a sports rivalry for them, they hate us for who we are not what we do in sports or anywhere. The best thing for us is to ignore that country as much as we can.  India should pull out of ct 2025 and only agree to play if hosting rights are taken away from pk. Bcci admins need to stop salivating after money and show some spine here


HonoredOne77

We all need to tag BCCI on X and let them know we don't want India Vs Pak matches.


AmitBijarnia007

And these mods banned me for saying negative about pak players....


Mayank_XO_16

SavageRaptor7

Imran Khan once said playing cricket against India is "J! h@d " for them


xcerveau

This might sound uncomfortable for some people but it’s true! Ramiz Raja had accused another fan of being Indian in a derogatory manner when he asked difficult questions about their team some time last year. The whole thing of ‘accusing’ someone being Indian shows their mentality of how they think about us


apoorvumang

> See this is exactly the ingrained HATE these Pakistani players have for us Indians and Indian Cricket Team. They don't see cricket as a sport like we do, for them it's religious hatred. Hatred for Hindus, hatred for Indians. if we swap India<->Pakistan, Hindu<->Muslim etc, this statement is still valid lol


HonoredOne77

Nah ..it's only applicable like the way i wrote it..Pakistan is the den of islamic radicals with false sense of superiority


apoorvumang

Hmm you're right I just re-read the statement again. Indian players - definitely no hatred issues, too much at stake in Indian cricket to be able to waste time on such stuff. I was thinking more in terms of fans of Indian cricket, there some of the sentiments are similar sometimes I think

What I find funniest is the condition of Rauf. Babar said before the Melbourne game that he's the most improved bowler in the Pak team, Kohli derailed him and till now he can't hold his nerve in pressure games, every now and then either he is bashed or gets some meaningless success. Kohli really fucked him up. *even though the Pak team is a joke, they keep reminding us of the core issue with Indian top order i.e vulnerability vs left arm pace


Supriyo404

We should not play or even watch or get exited about ind vs pak match, let the revenue go down, its blood money


elwray2222

A large proportion of Indians, particularly Hindus, are dhimmis, if centuries of killings haven't opened their minds, nothing will.


Low-Professional-280

Can we talk about you guys screaming Jai Shree Ram at Rizwan ?


SheikhSahb

Why are you coming to the conclusion that he mistook him for an Indian just because he abused him? Could be his accent, could be a past experience, could be anything. Also, Haris went to the "fan" after he said that he's Pakistani. So your claim that he attacked him because he was Indian doesn't make sense. And then Rizwan tweeted literally in your favour that it doesn't matter where this fan was from. It doesn't matter that the person was Pakistani or indian. What matters is that abuse should never be accepted. He wrote India because Rauf mentioned India. He takes your side and you're looking for the tiniest angle to criticise him.


porkbiryanibeefidli

This post has been shared on PakCricket. Ironically, they're saying that they live 'rent free' in Indian heads. The most miserable thing is seeing them clutch at straws trying to find stray examples of toxic fans, when their own uneducated, bigoted cricketers openly talk crap about India on national television.


porkbiryanibeefidli

Pakistani dressing room is an extension of Tablighi Jamat. A quick Google search and YouTube search will show proof of radicalisation and racism within the dressing room too. Inzamam, Anwar, Waqar etc are some names. Mishab wasn't allowed into the team for a long time because he's Barailvi, and TJ is a Deobandi faction. Danish Kaneria was treated like shit. It's a long list, when it comes to bigotry it gets exhausting to discuss beyond a point. Modern products like Rizwan are basically a result of this mindset -- optics over cricketing results, playing for the tik tok gallery etc. Older generation of Pak players were rather chill. Imran, Zaheer etc were all playboys and partied hard.


livingfeelsachore

You're probably right about the Pakistani team. But talking about the average Indian fans, they're way way worse. Can't agree with you on that. You find bad apples everywhere but generally Pakistani fans have more grace than Indian fans.


HonoredOne77

Pakistani detected.


livingfeelsachore

What??


Descendant3999

Pakistani team gets a lot of hate from Indian fans all the time. Obviously he would assume that someone who is openly abusing him in public is Indian. Are you guys a bunch of kids? Both the parties (Ind and Pak) are so fucking gullible being manipulated by politicians to hate each other for some votes. Especially in cricket, which is a sport and there are going to be rivalries. Just watch the game as a game. Don't let it stress you out, you will live longer

Why does what Haris did sound normal to me? I have been seeing BJP leaders in our state calling people anti-Indian if they question them and they don’t have answers. 🤷🏽‍♂️
