Shashi Tharoor's Witty Response To X User's 'USA Team That Represents Akhand Bharat' Post

An X user by the name of Shahzeb Khan pointed out an interesting fact, noting that the USA team that defeated Pakistan comprises players of Sri Lankan, Pakistani, Indian, and even Nepali origin.

Social media exploded with wild reactions from fans after witnessing one of the biggest upsets in cricket history. Pakistan, in their first match of the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024, lost to USA, a team playing in its first-ever major ICC tournament. Fans and experts alike were stunned by this shocking turn of events.

Meanwhile, an X user by the name of Shahzeb Khan pointed out an interesting fact, noting that the USA team that defeated Pakistan comprises players of Sri Lankan, Pakistani, Indian, and even Nepali origin. He mentioned that he could never have imagined a USA team representing "Akhand Bharat."

"This USA World Cup team has Indians, Pakistanis, Sri Lankans and even a Nepali. Never in my wildest imaginations did I think I’d see a USA team that represents Akhand Bharat," user by the handle name @theshahzebkhan wrote on X.

Notably, in the USA's top 11 against Pakistan, there were two cricketers of Pakistani origin, eleven Indian-born players, and three British players. 

And with that, Congress MP and renowned author, Shashi Tharoor, wasted no time in churning out a hilarious H-1B visa meme. "As some brilliant wag also put it: Not the Indian A team, not the Indian B team, but the Indian H1B team!" Tharoor humorously quipped on X (Twitter).

"Almost half of the USA Squad are Indians….Americans came to know that they have a Cricket team after the Indians driven team beat Pakistan. All thanks to H1B XD," one user posted on X.

Batting first, Pakistan posted 159/7. In response, USA team managed to tie the score at 159/3, leading to a thrilling Super Over. USA then set Pakistan a target of 19 runs to win in the Super Over, with Netravalkar's bowling restricting the 2009 champions to 13/1, securing a historic victory over the Men in Green.
