A viral video has taken social media by storm, showing a Pakistan fan making an unexpected wardrobe change during Pakistan’s Champions Trophy clash against India. Initially full of hope, wearing his Pakistan jersey and cheering for his team, the fan decided to switch to an Indian jersey once it became clear that Pakistan was heading for a crushing defeat.
The lighthearted yet telling moment has sparked laughter and debates across social platforms, with fans reacting to Pakistan’s struggles in the tournament.
Pakistan’s Disastrous Campaign Continues
Pakistan’s six-wicket loss to India marked their second consecutive defeat in the Champions Trophy, all but confirming their early exit. After a disappointing performance against New Zealand, where they failed to chase down a modest total, the pressure was on Mohammad Rizwan and his squad to deliver against their arch-rivals.
However, the match turned into a one-sided affair, with India dominating both with the bat and ball. Pakistan’s batting lineup crumbled under pressure, managing only 242 runs. In response, India chased it down comfortably in just 42.3 overs.
Virat Kohli’s Masterclass Seals the Deal
The match belonged to Virat Kohli, who played a sublime innings, scoring an unbeaten 100 off 111 balls. His cover drives were a treat to watch, and his finishing shot—a boundary to bring up his 51st ODI century—was the perfect ending to a flawless chase.
Shreyas Iyer also played a key role, scoring 56 off 67 deliveries, ensuring that India never lost control of the match.
Fans React – Frustration and Humor Collide
While the viral video of the Pakistan fan’s jersey swap amused many, it also reflected the growing frustration among Pakistan supporters. Many fans took to social media to criticize the team’s poor performance, with particular backlash aimed at captain Babar Azam’s slow batting in the previous match against New Zealand.
Experts and former cricketers also weighed in, questioning Pakistan’s strategy and lack of intent. Some even labeled the fan’s decision to switch jerseys as the “best play of the match” from Pakistan’s side.
What’s Next for Pakistan and India?
With this win, India has secured their place in the Champions Trophy semifinals and will face New Zealand on March 2 to determine the Group A leader. Meanwhile, Pakistan will take on Bangladesh on February 27 in what is now just a match for pride, as both teams have been eliminated from the tournament.
While Pakistan’s campaign may be over, the viral video will surely live on as one of the funniest moments of the tournament—one that perfectly sums up the emotions of Pakistan fans watching their team struggle on the big stage.
