Mumbai, July 23: In a bizarre incident, Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif was brutally trolled on social media after Pakistan cricket team's humiliating defeat against Bangladesh. Shehbaz Sharif took to his official social media account and praised Bangladesh cricket team and also commended the Pakistani cricket team for their spirited performance. However, the internet users brutally trolled the Prime Minister asking details about their former Prime Minister and star cricketer Imran Khan, who was jailed in 2023. Earlier, there were also news of him being killed inside the jail making rounds on social media.
Shehbaz Sharif's X Post
Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sahrif said, "Congratulations to Bangladesh on winning the 2025 T20I Series with Pakistan. I also commend our cricket team for their spirited performance. Wins and losses are part of the game, and that is the true spirit of sportsmanship. May these sporting ties between our two countries continue to unite our peoples and strengthen our bonds of friendship."
Internet REACTS
While the message struck a tone of diplomacy and sportsmanship, it didn’t sit well with the social media users. The internet users started trolling the Pakistani Prime Minister. AI was also pulled into the drama as one of the users asked Perplexity, “Where is Imran Khan?”
To which the chatbot replied, "Imran Khan is currently in prison in Pakistan— he’s been behind bars since August 2023, mainly facing corruption and other legal charges that his supporters say are politically motivated. Despite his imprisonment, he’s still active through public statements and his political party PTI continues to rally for his release."
Another user said, "Got humiliated now even from Bangladesh?" One of the users said, "Beggars Lost from Stinkers..."
A user also said, "Pakistan cricket has mastered the art of losing with a smile and a speech. Maybe next time, send the press release before the match — save everyone the suspense. At this rate, even Zimbabwe's B team is double-checking their passports."
A user also gave credit to the Indian Army for PM's tweet. He said, "Thanks to Indian Army that Pak PM is making that post, before 1971 this was not possible."
