Indian cricket fans are roasting Shan Masood after Pakistan’s disappointing loss to Bangladesh. Social media, especially Twitter, is flooded with memes and jokes at Masood’s expense. Fans are openly criticizing his performance and pointing out Pakistan’s ongoing struggles in cricket.
The phrase “na batting, na fielding, na captaincy” has gone viral, perfectly capturing the frustration with Masood’s recent games. His batting has been particularly poor, with only 33 runs in eight innings, including several ducks.
The Indian Cricket Fans are also questioning Masood’s leadership, especially after his controversial decision to declare the innings at 448 runs, which left Pakistan vulnerable. Many feel his captaincy lacks direction, raising doubts about his ability to guide the team in crucial matches.
The match against Bangladesh ended in a historic loss for Pakistan, marking Bangladesh’s first-ever Test win against them. This defeat has led to a wave of mockery, particularly directed at Masood. His dropped catch during the match was seen as a turning point, allowing Bangladesh to build momentum and secure victory.
Former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra added to the humor on Twitter, stating, “Not many teams go on to lose a Test match after declaring their first innings with 400+ runs and 4 wickets to spare. At home, Pakistan cricket is a gift that keeps giving.”
The situation escalated further when reports surfaced that Shaheen Afridi and Shan Masood had a physical fight in the dressing room after the massive defeat. As the loss adds to the ongoing disappointment with Pakistan’s cricket performance, fans are left wondering what went wrong.
