Pakistani team’s wholesome welcome in India is winning the internet
The Pakistani cricket team landed in Hyderabad, India on Wednesday to play in World Cup 2023. Videos of the overwhelming crowds that came to greet the team have set the internet on fire. Fans can be seen shouting the names of Babar, Haris Rauf and Shaheen Afridi. In some pictures, police men can be seen trying to take selfies with the cricket stars. This display of love for our boys in green on the other side of the border has moved social media to tears.
Wherever he goes, there is only one name on everybody’s lips…

Many were happy to witness politics and rivalry being set aside for the love of cricket that had united India and Pakistan. And soon the viral videos got a lot of appreciation from social media users.
No matter how much people fight over Babar but this guy has built an aura. I'm sure he'll get a lot of respect wherever he goes. https://t.co/D1xN59CW61

This is the reality. The hate you see on Social Media is limited to banters. On the ground, there is a regard for players. Be it Babar Azam in India, or Virat Kohli in Pakistan. https://t.co/QooO0QgFDb

There’s so much love between these two countries. Forget journalists, forget politicians or some people on twitter, look at what common people feel for each other and you’ll only find love.

world cup in India are always so exciting because of the mutual culture, language etc. https://t.co/9Ri8Cywnsc
Look how excited people look including security officials. Fuck politicians for mixing sports with politics. Human rights issues exist on both sides but sport has absolutely nothing to do with them – if anything it gives a chance to unite people and work out differences/issues. https://t.co/pToAX2M1bh

not sure what i love the most about this video: the paparazzi itching to get babar's attention? shaheen having a laugh with the policeman? rest of the security and ushers filming on their phones and smiling at each other? a shaky 20 sec video destroying the vitriol ❤️❤️ pic.twitter.com/2rQ37sGaDL
