IND vs PAK 2022: “They only live to troll us, have no other job” - Mohammad Shami lashes out at Arshdeep Singh's bullies Comment Share Team India pacers Mohammad Shami (left) and Arshdeep Singh. Senior Indian pacer Mohammad Shami has spoken out in support of Arshdeep Singh after the latter was subjected to brutal trolling and abuse following Team India’s loss to Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2022 on Sunday, September 4. India went down to Pakistan by five wickets in their first Super 4 match in Dubai. Arshdeep dropped a simple catch from Asif Ali in the 18th over of Pakistan’s innings. It made a huge difference as Ali (16 off eight) smashed two fours and a six to push his team towards victory. After India’s last-over defeat, vicious trolls launched a personal attack on young Arshdeep over the dropped catch. Shami, who experienced similar social media abuse following India's loss to their arch-rivals in the T20 World Cup last year, backed the 23-year-old. In an interview with Times Now, he lashed out at trolls and said: "They only live to troll us, have no other job. When we perform well they don’t say you took a good catch but will troll us? “Agar dam hai toh real accounts se aaye na, fake account se toh koi bhi msg kar sakta hai (If you have the audacity, then comes from real accounts; anyone can message from fake accounts.).” Asserting that the country stood by him even when he was being abused online, Shami urged Arshdeep not to let the needless criticism affect him. He said: "I’ve faced this and it doesn’t affect me because my country stands up for me. I’ll only say to Arshdeep, don’t let this hamper you because your talent is immense.” Harbhajan Turbanator@harbhajan_singhStop criticising young @arshdeepsinghh No one drop the catch purposely..we are proud of our boys ..

Anyone can commit mistakes under pressure - Virat Kohli backs Arshdeep Singh

Senior Indian batter Virat Kohli also backed Arshdeep over the dropped catch in Sunday’s match, stating that anyone can make mistakes under pressure. Speaking at the post-match press conference, he commented: “Anyone can commit mistakes under pressure. It was a big game, and the situation was a bit tight.” Speaking from his own experience, he added: “I remember when I was playing my first Champions Trophy game against Pakistan, and I played a very poor shot off Shahid Afridi’s bowling. I kept looking at the ceiling till 5 in the morning. I was up all night and couldn’t sleep. I thought it would be the end of my career and never get another chance.” Kohli asserted that players can always learn from mistakes and get better. He said: “That’s a natural feeling. But there are senior players around you. We’ll come together again for the next game. So, it’s all about learning in a good environment and when a similar situation arrives again, you look forward to it and be ready.”Aakash Chopra@cricketaakash#NewProfilePic1100416189#NewProfilePic https://t.co/ksSXCNMOgC Kohli top-scored for India with a 44-ball 60 against Pakistan.
