Many verified accounts from India provided information about these fake accounts and clarified that none of the tweets targeting Arshdeep originated in India, but rather in Pakistan. However, former India cricketer Harbhajan Singh appeared to believe the fake propaganda and began to preach to cricket fans not to target and mock the young pacer on social media.
According to Harbhajan, no one drops a catch on purpose, and Pakistan played well, which is why they won the match rather than one individual’s error. However, Indian fans were not amused by Harbhajan’s message and slammed the 42-year-old former cricketer for failing to recognize the totally fake propaganda coming from the other side of the border.
Arshdeep made a brilliant comeback after dropping the catch, defending seven runs in the final over.
The youngster took the match to the very last delivery and also knocked out Asif Ali, the batter who got a lifeline thanks to Arshdeep’s dropped catch, almost giving Pakistan a last-minute scare. Arshdeep’s final over performance demonstrates that the 23-year-old has a big heart and will have a great career in the future.
