“Its Called Karma”: Mohammed Shami’s Response To Shoaib Akhtar’s Tweet Takes Twitter By Storm
In the T20 World Cup 2022 championship match, England defeated the Pakistan cricket team by a margin of five wickets. Heartbroken by the game’s outcome were Pakistan’s cricket fans and both current and previous players. One of Pakistan’s most famous pacers, Shoaib Akhtar, even used the hashtag #brokenheartemoji on Twitter after the team’s loss. Veteran Indian pacer Mohammed Shami responded to Akhtar’s comment by writing on Twitter that it was “karma.”
After defeating New Zealand, the Pakistan cricket team advanced to the championship game. On the other side, England advanced to the final after dominating India by a margin of 10 wickets. In the summit match, Jos Buttler’s team defeated Babar Azam and company despite the fact that they failed to score a match-winning total.
Social media is sure to be flooded with comments from former cricket players and fans, but Shami’s response to Akhtar’s message has gone viral.
“Sorry brother It’s call karma,” Shami tweeted, reacting to Akhtar’s ‘broken heart’ emoji.
The main factor in Pakistan’s failure was Shaheen Afridi’s injury. After the game, even the captain, Babar Azam, acknowledged the same.
“Congratulations to England, they deserve to be champions and fought well. We felt like home here, got great support at every venue. Thanks for your support. Yes, we lost the first two games but how we came in the last four games was incredible. I just told the boys to play our natural game, but we fell 20 runs short and the boys fought well with the ball. Our bowling is one of the best attacks in the world. Unfortunately, Shaheen’s injury put us off, but that’s part of the game,” Pakistan skipper Babar Azam said at the post-match presentation cermeony.
The Pakistani crowd yearned for a repeat of 1992, when Imran Khan’s team made history at this very location, but Babar Azam’s team’s batting let them down as 137 for 8 was never going to be sufficient.
Similar to the 2019 ODI World Cup, the seasoned Ben Stokes (52 not out off 49 balls) led the chase despite some shakiness, and a composed Moeen Ali (19) served as the perfect counterbalance.

To reclaim the championship they had won in the West Indies in 2010, they completed the target chase in 19 overs.
