Former cricketer Virender Sehwag Monday spoke out in support of pacer Mohammad Shami, who has been receiving derogatory and hateful comments on social media after India lost to Pakistan at the ICC T20 World Cup match on Sunday.
Sehwag took to social media and called the trolls ‘online mob.’ He wrote on Twitter, “The online attack on Mohammad Shami is shocking and we stand by him. He is a champion and Anyone who wears the India cap has India in their hearts far more than any online mob. With you Shami. Agle match mein dikado jalwa.”

Pakistan crushed India by 10 wickets for their first-ever victory against the archrival in a T20 World Cup game on Sunday. Mohammad Rizwan (79 not out) and captain Babar Azam (68 not out) struck superb unbeaten half centuries and eased Pakistan to 152-0 in 17.5 overs in Group 2 of the Super 12s. Fast bowler Shaheen Afridi (3-31) had earlier rattled India’s top order by removing both openers — Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul — in his first two overs before skipper Virat Kohli’s 57 off 49 balls took the 2007 champions to 151-7.
Indian cricket fans lashed out at the team, singling out Shami with derogatory comments.
And then there are some Indians. How shameless are they to fill #Shami‘s Comment section with filth and hate. I feel ashamed to be a part of such radical society. #indiaVsPakistan pic.twitter.com/EyJM4xsiAB

Team India needs to take the knee for Shami. Now.
