There’s no denying it. We are a cricket crazy country. And so is the rest of the subcontinent. And when it comes to India vs Pakistan match, let’s just say tensions run dangerously high. Starting from the distasteful yet funny ads to the war of words, Indian and Pakistani fans have left no stone upturned to bring up the edge to their rivalry. From celebrities trying to free their schedules to watch the match to wedding guests in Kashmir making sure that there is a TV at the ceremony so that they do not miss out on the most anticipated match of the World Cup, the cricket mania has hit an all new high. But one fan from Pakistan decided to take a royal entry to the match, quite literally.
A Pakistani match viewer who went to watch the match in the field in Manchester arrived at the stadium on his white horse. Yes, he arrived on a horse.Dressed rather like a groom about to await for his new bride, the man entered the stadium after parking his horse. Carrying a Pakistan flag, the man who was dressed in an all-white attire is what the cricket mania has reached at. But it didn’t end at that. There was more to follow. That was not the end, he was followed by a bus full of Pakistan team supporters. The bus was painted in the Pakistani flag colours.
With a joyful procession, the regalia of fans finally entered the stadium. Twitter has already blown up over this in a frenzy. From commenting on how good the horse looks to definitely how he parked his horse, the jokes and memes are in, all in good spirit. While the game was marred by rain, there were many more meme worthy moments taken all through out the match, starting from Sarfaraz’s yawn to Kohli’s expressions. The match itself was extremely entertaining, with India giving Pakistan a tough challenge.
Even the men inside who were singing and shouting slogans were dressed in Pakistan jerseys and clothes that looked exactly like Pakistan flags. It looked like a procession. However, this fan and his actions left Twitter in splits additionally over the rest of the things that has happened during the world cup. That is one dedicated fan, mind it!
