Indian pacer Mohammed Shami who is serving nation over the years came across online abuse and backlash after India-Pakistan match on Sunday in the ongoing T20 Worldcup. As soon as the match ended, fans on Instagram and Twitter passed derogatory statements on Shami. BCCI shared a picture of Shami with skipper Virat Kohli on Twitter and said "Proud, Strong, Upward and onward."
