Cricket is almost a second religion for the passionate die-hard fans of the sport  in the Asian sub-continent and it was once again brought to the fore from a picture on social media where a newly married Pakistani couple was busy following the second T20I game between Australia and Pakistan on their television set in the US on Tuesday.

With the image creating a buzz on social media, ICC also took note of it and shared the picture on its official twitter handle. "Here's a message we got from a fan in the US. #CoupleGoals You know it's love when ...," the ICC captioned the image with a letter from the groom.


The groom's message read: "As a die-hard cricket fan, I want to submit a photo from my wedding this past weekend. As per tradition, after the completion of wedding, the bride is bought home for a little traditional ceremony amongst the close family.

As we came home (around midnight in Detroit, Michigan, USA) the Pakistan vs Australia T20 game was getting underway. Over the years residing in North America I've stayed up at all sorts of odd hours in night to catch team Pakistan play. Even though it was my wedding night, I wasn't going to miss this game (sic)."

Earlier this year, during the 24th over of the second ODI between India and England, a man seated in the stands with his partner decided to express his feelings to her. As the moment was captured on the big screen, the man went down on his knees and proposed to his girlfriend with a ring.

Pakistan are currently taking on Australia in a three-match T20I series, which will be followed by a two-match Test series. The T20I series opener ended with no result after rain played spoilsport whereas Pakistan lost the 2nd match of the series by 7 wickets, courtesy an unbeaten 51-ball 80 run knock by Steve Smith.
