Upset and angry Pakistani cricketer fans lashed out at the poor performance of their team on Twitter and blamed the cricketers for hanging out till late before the game.
The team came under fire after a video and a photo showing Shoaib Malik, Wahab Riaz, Imam-Ul-Haq and Sania Mirza with friends at a Sheesha bar and captain Sarfaraz Ahmed and other cricketers at a burger and thick shake joint ‘Archies’ went viral online.
‘Useless bunch of sportsmen’, ‘they should be ashamed’ the fans wrote on Twitter.
Some claimed the team was hanging out the night before crucial India vs Pakistan game but it was two days before the game.
Shoaib Malik who got out on the first ball in the game and his Indian wife and tennis player Sania Mirza was heavily trolled online.
Ms Mirza, the six-time grand slam winner, reacted sharply to a video which was tweeted by a person criticising her ‘outing’ with her husband Shoaib Malik.
Mirza also got into a verbal duel with Pakistani actress Veena Malik.
Malik on Monday requested people to 'maintain respect levels' for their families.
