The Pakistan national cricket team are playing their first international match in India in seven years. The last time the Pakistan side set foot on Indian soil was in 2016 which was when the T20 World Cup was played in India. With bilateral cricket not being played between the two teams anymore, the Men in Green have not played in India since then. And so when the time did come for Pakistan to travel to India, a die-hard Pakistani fan who is often found cheering for them in their matches around the world, 'Basheer Chacha' also came to India to cheer for them.

Even though there were reports suggesting that the Chacha reportedly got into a bit of trouble with the Indian authorities when he weaved the Pakistan flag at the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport in Hyderabad, he was seen expressing himself and chanting slogans for Pakistan ahead of the team's World Cup opener against  the Netherlands.

"I have come from Chicago to support Pakistan. We have to win the match," he told ANI
