Rishi Kapoor has something to say to the Pakistani cricket team

Rishi Kapoor has something to say to the Pakistani cricket team

The actor took to Twitter to let out his cricket fever and let's just say, it was interesting
15 Jun, 2017

Rishi Kapoor is a fine actor but we're more fascinated by his presence on social media.

The actor took to Twitter to post about his cricket fever. But things got weird when he posted about Pakistan's latest win.

Okay so we believe Rishi Kapoor loves blue and it's not just an India cricket team thing. There are a few puns on the word blue here and they're just a few too many. What does "Get ready to be blued" even mean?

Oh well. All's fair in love and cricket. After all, many Pakistanis got into the spirit and joined in the conversation, which the Kapoor and Sons actor really admired.

Such fun banter and good sportsmanship can cricket even more fun! May the best team win!

Nothing wrong in it, he is just supporting his country and expecting non-abusive responses from Pakistani cricket fans.

There is a limit upto which one can outperform oneself. And Pakistan has reached that limit having beaten 3 teams out of which two are far far superior to it. So finals will go to the opponents- India or Bangladesh. Of course India is the overwhelming favourite for a berth in the finals.

What's up with Indians showing attitude? We have hammered them on cricket for most part and yet we never boasted about our team. He like many Indians have already brushed off Bangladesh and without playing a single ball in the semi final, they are already dreaming of playing the final. We hope them to be in the finals as it's a payback time.

I have supported Pakistan for their flair and unpredictability and exciting style in cricket. I cursed and screamed at the Pakistani team playing India the last time two weeks or so ago, but seeing them play S. Africa, Sri Lanka and then England, I had no doubt that Pakistani bowlers and batsmen were displaying confidence and discipline to the extent that I firmly believed that they'd thump India. It became obvious they'd beat India once Amir removed their top three batsmen by his smart bowling. I truly believe that although Misbah was a steady and stabilizing factor for Pakistan, Sarfraz will bring confidence and much needed aggression to the Pakistani side. He proved in the final today, what Pakistan with its young talent can do from here on. More power to Pakistan.

I guess your next tweet clarified on your intent.
