For creating a subpar surface at Rawalpindi for the first Test match between England and Pakistan, PCB has been under fire in recent days. When England batted in the first innings, they went on to score a record-breaking Test total of 657 runs before Pakistan scored 579 runs in the second.
Since then, cricket fans all over the world have criticized the PCB for once again failing to prepare an international-level pitch. However, even in this situation, some Pakistani fans can’t resist themselves to draw parallels against India, even when India is not involved in anything.

In a similar instance, one Pakistani supporter attempted to disparage the legendary Indian cricketer, MS Dhoni, in response to the criticisms.
As expected, his tweet was bombarded by Indian fans for drawing a baseless comparison. Within 24 hours, his tweet attracted a lot of criticism from India. Among them is veteran Indian cricketer Amit Mishra who trolls Pakistani fans in a most savage way.
Amit Mishra shows Pakistani fans a reality
Veteran Indian spinner Amit Mishra has been quite active on social media since the start of the 2017 Indian Premier League season. Since then, he has been keeping a careful eye on the game from the sidelines.
Nevertheless, Amit Mishra has joined the group of cricketers who often amuse the internet with their witty remarks. In recent times, he becomes more and more defensive of his national side on the social media platform

As a result, he sharply replies to the trolls to try to disparage the Indian cricket team. A similar incident happened when he fiercely retaliated against the Pakistani troll for mocking MS Dhoni.
Using Pakistan’s wrist-spinner Yasir Shah as a comparison, Pakistani troll Haroon made fun of MS Dhoni for his number of hundreds scored outside of Asia
Taking to Twitter, he wrote,
“To those Indian fans saying Pakistani batters can only play on flat tracks. Yasir Shah has more test hundreds away from Asia than MS Dhoni.”

Veteran wrist-spinner Amit Mishra responded to the insult directed at Dhoni by saying,
“It took 3 captains and 24 years for Pakistan to win World cup, T20 World cup and champions trophy. MS Dhoni won all three within 7 years.”

With his tweet, Amit Mishra tries to present the fact that prior to winning the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy, Pakistan won the 1992 ODI World Cup under Imran Khan and the 2009 T20 World Cup under Younis Khan. On the other hand, MS Dhoni guided his team to victory in the first T20 World Cup in his maiden season as captain of the Indian T20I team. Later, within 7 years, India won the ICC ODI World Cup for the first time in 28 years in 2011 and the ICC Champions Trophy in 2013, both under Dhoni’s captaincy.
Within minutes, Amit Mishra’s tweet went viral and got a lot of attention both from Indian fans as well as Pakistani fans. While many Pakistani fans tried to troll back Mishra by cherry-picking India’s poor statistics, Indian fans are also doing the same.
