One can see how the crowd is chanting ‘India zindabad’ to which one person in blue cap responds with ‘Pakistan zindabad’. These chants continue for a few seconds till someone from India side breaks into ‘Ganpati Bappa Morya’ chants. Likely not knowing how to react to this, the Pakistani side fell silent.
The above clip is from Asia Cup Super Four match from September 2018 where Indian team led by Rohit Sharma won against Pakistan by nine wickets, paving way to the finals.
This video has again started making rounds on social media especially in the light of Ganesh Chaturthi that was celebrated on 31st August 2022 and the nailbiting India vs Pakistan Asia Cup match on Sunday where Hardik Pandya led India to a victory.
