The first T20 between World XI and Pakistan has been receiving a huge response from the world over even before the game taking place. Pakistani cricketers are overjoyed as they finally got the opportunity to play in front of the home crowd.
Surprisingly, there are no Indian cricketers in the World XI and that is hurting some of the Pakistani fans. Even former Pakistan skipper Shahid Afridi had requested the Indian cricketers to be a part of the World XI squad.
An Australian journalist has seen the funny side of it and took a dig at Virat Kohli but his humour was received pretty badly by India and Virat Kohli fans. He tweeted this on the eve of the match between Pakistan and World XI:
