Congress leader Abhishek Manu Singhvi’s stake
After this match, Congress leader Abhishek Manu Singhvi took a dig at Pakistan and posted on the social media platform X (East Twitter). He wrote that whether Operation is vermilion, Asia Cup or Women’s World Cup, Pakistan does drama every time outside the field, but when it comes to playing on the field, the result is the same every time ‘defeat’. Singhvi advised Pakistan to stop beating the chest and pay more attention to cricket. He said that when India plays, Pakistan talks about war, and when India wins, it makes excuses. He clearly stated that now is the time to focus on cricket.
