Taking on Aakash Chopra on Twitter is probably not a good idea. It is definitely proved on Wednesday when a Pakistan fan tried to warn the former Indian cricketer ahead of India vs Pakistan.
Chopra, who is working as a cricket analyst, has made a tweet on Pakistan team. The 41-year old is one of the most popular cricketers on Twitter. He managed to create his own fan base on the social media with his witty tweets.
He made a tweet on Pakistan team referring to their skipper Sarfaraz’s comments earlier this month. The Pakistan skipper had told every team in world cup are scared of Pakistan. Meanwhile, Aakash Chopra made a tweet on this statement after Pakistan’s loss to Australia on Wednesday.
Every team is scared of Pakistan—Sarfraz
I’m sure Pakistan is equally scared of the Pakistan that turned up today to play against Australia ?? #CWC19 #AusvPak

Pakistan were severely outplayed by Australia for majority of the match. However, help from tail enders in the chase raised hopes. But eventually Australia won against Pakistan by 41 runs.
However, his tweet did not go well with one Pakistan fan. He slammed Aakash Chopra for his mocking tweet. In his tweet, the fan reminded of Pakistan’s win against India in Champions Trophy final 2017.

After the tweet, it is clear to some of Pakistan fans that it is not a good idea to take on Aakash Chopra on Twitter.
India are set to play Pakistan on Sunday at Old Trafford, Manchester.
After rain playing spoil sport on Thursday, India are set to face Pakistan in the most awaited clash. Roughly 1.5 billion people are expected to tune in for this match.
India are in strong position in this world cup. They already won against South Africa and Australia. They are playing like title favorites. On the other hand, Pakistan had suffered a deflated loss to Australia after their win against England.
Both the teams were forced to share a point with their opponents in one game. India are clear favorites in terms of quality. Also, history is not in favor of Pakistan as they are 0-6 to India in 50 over world cup events.
Although, Pakistan are underdogs, they are a strong unit on their day. They have proved it against England. Pakistan can defeat any side in the world when they are on song. India needs to ensure that they keep up to their game on Sunday.
Both the captains are also eager to make their mark as a new chapter evolves in this iconic rivalry.
