Even though India vs Pakistan Asia Cup 2022 match at the Dubai International Stadium happened on Sunday (August 28), the aftertaste of that win is still fresh in every Indian fan. Everyday some or other social media post related to that game is going viral on the internet and with a possibility of two IND vs PAK games in the coming two Sundays, all of this is adding to the buildup.
In a reel that is now going viral on the internet, Pakistan speedster Shaheen Shah Afridi, who has been ruled out of the competition but is in the UAE with the team to complete his rehabilitation with the team physio, can be seen reacting to an Indian vlogger's cheeky comment post India's 5-wicket win.
Post the result, the Indian social media content creator Rohit Bharati said to Shaheen: "Aap nahi khele acha laga, bach gaye." However, it is Shaheen's laughter that has become a major talking point with the caption of the post also reading: "So good to see that he has a sense of humour! 🤗."

Notably, Shaheen was the Player of the Match when the two neighbouring countries last met each other. In that game, Shaheen had taken the wickets of Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul and Virat Kohli which eventually helped them win the match by 10 wickets.
In his absence, Pakistan lost the Asia Cup opener. However, debutant Naseem Shah bowled an impressive spell that kept them in the game till the last over despite the Men in Green getting bowled out for 147. Eventually though Hardik Pandya took India over the line.
