A similar verbal spat between a policeman and a Pakistan fan during ODI World Cup 2023
Earlier during the ODI World Cup 2023, a viral video went on to hit the headlines of both social and mainstream media when a Pakistan fan was stopped chanting ‘Pakistan Zindabad’ slogans to support his side during a match of the tournament at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
The video of the argument between a police officer and a Pakistan cricket fan also garnered a lot of different reactions from cricket fans and experts from both India and Pakistan. It also initiated a major controversy among the cricketing experts of both countries.
