Ex-India batsman Virender Sehwag on Monday took to Twitter to show support for Mohammed Shami after he faced extremely unruly behavior from fans on social media.

New Delhi: Pakistan on Sunday defeated Virat Kohli-led India by 10 wickets in the T20 World Cup 2021 match at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Team India were hoping to continue their winning streak against Pakistan in World Cups, but Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan's batting heroics powered the Men in Green to a historic maiden World Cup win against India.

Soon after India's heart-breaking loss, some fans took to Twitter and Instagram to abuse India senior speedster Mohammed Shami. The trolls did not also spare skipper Virat Kohli as he was too subjected to abuse on social media.
