India's Mohammed Shami reacts after he was hit by three consecutive boundaries during the Twenty20 World Cup match between India and Pakistan in Dubai, UAE, Sunday, Oct 24. — AP
A torrent of social media abuse was aimed at India's only Muslim player, the bowler Mohammed Shami, after his side were thrashed by Pakistan at the T20 World Cup.
Violence against Muslims in India was also reported after the emphatic 10-wicket win on Sunday, Pakistan's first against India at any World Cup.
The 31-year-old Shami became the main target after the defeat in Dubai, even though India captain Virat Kohli acknowledged that his side had been “outplayed”.
Hundreds of messages were left on Shami's Instagram account saying he was a “traitor” and should be thrown out of the Indian team.
But many fans and politicians also urged support for him, calling on Indian players to reject the hate messages just as they had backed the Black Lives Matter movement by taking a knee.
“Team India your BLM knee-taking counts for nothing if you can't stand up for your teammate who is being horribly abused and trolled on social media,” Omar Abdullah, a former chief minister in the Muslim-majority Indian-occupied Kashmir, said on Twitter.
Former Indian all-rounder Irfan Pathan, also a Muslim, also spoke out in support of Shami, saying he had been part of India vs Pakistan matches where India lost but had "never been told to go to Pakistan".
"THIS CRAP NEEDS TO STOP," he wrote.
Ex-Indian opener Virender Sehwag termed the online attack on Shami as "shocking".
"He is a champion and anyone who wears the India cap has India in their hearts far more than any online mob. With you Shami," he tweeted.
“Ignore the haters, most of India's grateful for your effort,” said another supporter on Instagram.
People on the Pakistani side of the border also expressed solidarity with Shami.
Author Fatima Bhutto noted that "even when we lose matches, Pakistani fans have a sense of humour about things and a kind of elan".
"I'm horrified by the vile abuse heaped on Mohammed Shami by his compatriots. The rot of hatred seems to have infected everywhere there," she said on Twitter.
People set off celebratory gunfire in Islamabad and Karachi after the famous win, while hundreds ignited firecrackers in occupied Kashmir, where troops are fighting an insurgency.
Gautam Gambhir, a former India Test cricketer who has become an MP for the ruling Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party, said it was “shameful” that people were celebrating Pakistan's win.
In Punjab state, students from Kashmir said they were beaten up.
A student at an engineering and technology institute said dozens of men armed with hockey sticks and batons attacked them as they watched the closing stages of the game.
“They entered our room, switched off the lights and beat us. They destroyed our laptops,” the student told AFP, speaking on condition of anonymity because of fears of more trouble.
“We are safe now and we have support from our college. But we didn't expect this at all. We are Indians.”
The match also sparked violence in neighbouring Bangladesh. Two Pakistan supporters were beaten by India fans as they celebrated the win in one southern district, media reports said.
Lol they kneed for Black Lives Matter, something which has nothing to do with them yet to look cool they did so. But just like clockwork when Muslims, including their own player is abused by the sanghi millions they stay quiet.
GTFO, most non-Indian cricket fans have also seen through this.
No one is blaming him or Indian team for the match ,if anyone with a commonsense would have noticed the due factor .the players could have done nothing much after that.
T20 World Cup 2021: Mohammed Shami Faces Online Abuse After India’s Loss Against Pakistan

Indian cricketer Mohammed Shami was abused online after India’s loss against Pakistan in the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 on Sunday. Pakistan outplayed India in all the departments as they won the match comfortably by 10 wickets.
Batting first, India only managed 152 runs on the board. Apart from the Indian skipper, Virat Kohli, and Rishabh Pant the rest of the batting line-up failed to contribute a substantial score. Virat Kohli scored 57 runs off 49 deliveries while Pant scored 39 runs off 30 deliveries.
Shaheen Afridi was the pick of the bowlers for Pakistan. In reply, Pakistan chased down the target in just 18 overs with no loss. The openers, Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam, both slammed the fifties and remained not out to take their side home.
The actions of Indians differ to your post.No one is blaming him or Indian team for the match ,if anyone with a commonsense would have noticed the due factor .the players could have done nothing much after that.
there's also a lot of fakers there, we saw this during the Kerela floods too with reports of social media being flooded with hateful stuff and celebrating the flood.. a lot of it was fakers pretending to be x party, representing y people.SanghiLites
In America this black lives matter does not give a fkk about these Indians.Lol they kneed for Black Lives Matter, something which has nothing to do with them yet to look cool they did so. But just like clockwork when Muslims, including their own player is abused by the sanghi millions they stay quiet.

Dude people get wings when posting online and you cannot take them seriously, people who know cricket will know it was not his fault.Same here. I cringed when he got to bowl the 18th over.
As always, we have SanghiLites who are always available to whitewash the crimes of their cohorts. Two posts by @Clutch detail exactly that what is happening and Vajpayee Junior comes and says nothing happened.
Have you seen the match ,if you have you would have noticed there is nothing much anyone could have done.you cannot expect much from players with a wet ball.Is that your sentiment or his?
Pakistan still has matches to play this world cup and you too will bat second under the lights ,may be then you will know what I was saying.Due factor????
The dew stopped Indian bowlers from taking even 1 wicket. The levels of copium in your blood might be a bit too high.
Well done by ignoring the main issue of the thread btw shows how much Indians value Shami's sacrifice for their team.
Don't worry your wish will be granted in your neighborhood if its not already such.Indian Muslims must arm the selves and be prepared to defend them selves against these Hindu rss terrorists. Islam tells us to always be prepared for war and Islam allows us to defend our selves. Don’t care about anything the world or media says.
INDIAN MUSLIM’S EVERYONE GET A GUN AND ALWAYS BE PREPARED TO DEFEND IF YOU CAN’T GET A GUN GET A SWORD IF YOU CAN’T GET A SWORD GET A KITCHEN KNIFE OR STICK, BUT BE PREPARED FOR WAR ALWAYS!
Indian Muslims should move to areas in India that are mostly Muslim move to mostly Muslim neighbourhoods in your city. Strength in numbers. Set up a civilian milita and have people guarding the neighbourhood and masjids 24/7
Parafin in water pistol and a lighter will send a clear message to these bastards.Indian Muslims must arm the selves and be prepared to defend them selves against these Hindu rss terrorists.
