Why are the Pakistani players, fans and celebrities being so humble in victory?

A day after the historic defeat to the Indian cricket team in Dubai, Prime Minister Imran Khan has mocked New Delhi while discussing the economic benefits of improving ties with India by resolving the long-standing Kashmir dispute.

“I know after last night thrashing by the Pakistan team in the cricket match it’s not a very good time to talk about improving relations with India,” the premier said on Monday while referring to Green Shirts' historic win against India in the T20 World Cup.

No need to stoop down to their level.

Sports and especially Pak-Ind cricket should stay away from hateful political agendas.

PS: What NZ did by cancelling the tour is the most disgraceful thing ever in history of all sports. IMO it is worse than fixing etc. This disgusting act by NZC genuinely made me (and probably many more people) stop following cricket. Shameless bunch these Kiwis.

I don't think its possible for us to stoop down to their level. We don't mix sports with politics.

It maybe years before we play India. To beat them in such fashion, we are entitled to give them such hard truths. They are not the powerhouse of world cricket, only in terms of having a billion people follow cricket, thus making them money. Otherwise as a cricketing nation , they are on par or less than Pakistan, even with having so much finances.

As for Kiwis, it was a one off. They were given info by the British intelligence who are upset after leaving Afghanistan defeated and also humiliated. Jacinda Adern is a great PM, she was amazing after the mosque shootings. She had no choice imo.

 

[Bewal Express]

Nah it was just amusing to watch all the mutual backpatting about "we're humble, we're humble. Our religion teaches us humility" and the irony of it all made it hard not to butt in, I'm sorry.

Carry on with the humble back patting sessions, sorry for my disturbance.

The reality is that most of us are just glad that we don't have to put up with you have never beaten us in a WC, especially as we know that through our histories, we have easily been the better team.

Great man!

Hes not like our other politicians, always bowing down to India. He recognises Pakistan is strong enough to hold its own against India, in terms of armed forces and cricket.

He is telling them, no matter what they do, they cannot stop Pakistan as a nation or a cricketing team. Both have been attacked by India.

 

[Bewal Express]

We get the same points for defeating India then anyone else. I would rather lose to India and win the tournament then the other way around. I don't want to become all childish like the Indian fans and media do even if we did them ever so easily yesterday.

I think for the Psychology of our cricket, we needed this win more than winning the cup at this point.

 

[street cricketer]

Your bitterness is just reaching a zenith now. Celebrating a victory and patting each other in the back is now being equated to the garbage that’s spewed by your countrymen? I think just for the moqa moqa stuff, if you had any shame you would be quiet but let’s not even pretend to not see what’s going on here. The sarcasm won’t hide the bitterness, the constant manipulation and self convincing of what really matters won’t fool anybody either.
I can offer just a crumb of comfort to you, the tournament ain’t over and India might best Pakistan if we meet again. Take that and be happy please. Thank you!

If you thought Mauka Mauka was offensive, I have nothing to say lol. You could call it banter at first or even cringey afterwards, but it was never really disrespectful to Pakistanis. Anyway I've been a member here long enough to know that it's always a two way street between Indians and Pakistanis. If Indians had the Mauka Mauka slogan, Pakistanis had the Kohli nahi hota tujhse chase thing.

But sure if you feel one side is holier than the other and has always been gentleman like in behaviour, whatever floats your boat.

 

[iniqbal223]

Let's get this clear. Indian's were in red hot form having trashed England and Australia in the Warm Ups and having the IPL so close to the WC. There was zero excuse for them to be defeated by ten wickets against the under dogs Pakistan.

Why are our players being so humble in victory? Why are we humbly accepting a smiling Kohli and Dhoni talking to our players at the end of the match as if it is an honour?

Are we now going to forget about Kohli's Asia Cup 2012 Century celebration against Pakistan?

Are we going to forget about Mauka Mauka all these years?

Are we going to forget about the Anti Pakistan Statements made by all the Indian players including Gambhir for the last 15 years?

Are we going to forget about Sehwag's "Baap Pota" Comment?

Are we going to forget about Harbhajan's "Plz just let the Indian team walk over" comments?

This appeasing and pleasing India attitude is really sad to see. We have every justified reason to rub this defeat in

In 1990s we were more Jaahil in the name of Badtammezi, Jazba, Josh, Junoon, Pagalpan, Chutiyapa , Badmashiyaan

Its a fact, a top team fans or players, or anyone associated with them is hard to remain humble (Now don't give me example of NZ, they are good semifinal team with almost no history of winning any major trophies except CT 2002 and WTC 2021).. Have you remember how Aussies behaved in last 3/4 decades just because they were winning everything?

Being a proud Pakistani , I found this to be pretty immature comments (May be the only white spot for IK's governance is PCT was able to beat India in World Cup)

Clearly you support other parties. I understand supporters of PPP and PLMN cant stand seeing IK. After all he has stopped them and their supporters of looting the nation via corruption.

ITs very mature, IK wants to play sports with India, he wants a decent political relations too but he wont bow down to them or treat them with kid gloves after humiliating defeat for them.

Mauka Mauka was a banter in mainstream media which got instant hit; Its the content of Mauka Mauka which attracted so much viewership
I never found it offensive because that every Pakistani was going through in every World Cup... Haven't we??
I took it pretty lightly and enjoyed the ad.. There was no offense at all in that ad..

I love how our fans are pretending that they are saints and are apparently always “gracious” in defeat.

The reality couldn’t be further from the truth.

If they are relatively more humble this time, it is due to two major reasons: (1) they learned their lesson after the CT final.

Pakistani fans and players went over the top and thought that the CT final was a “Miandad six” moment and will turn the tide in Pakistan-India encounters.

We had the likes of Sarfraz claiming that India is afraid of playing Pakistan and Hasan Ali was doing his cringeworthy celebration at the border before claiming that he will try to take all 10 wickets against India.

The arrogance of the fans on PP was amusing as well. The fans were claiming that India will get steamrolled the next time these two sides meet because they will not be able to overcome the scars of the CT final.

Our heads were in the clouds before everything fell apart in the 2018 Asia Cup. That reality-check basically ended the careers of Sarfraz and Mickey Arthur.
[MENTION=135038]Major[/MENTION]

The significance of the World Cup streak cannot be understated. Let’s be honest here - Pakistani fans would not admit it, but they will happily swap the superior H2H record in bilaterals for a flawless World Cup H2H record

The World Cup streak was a representation of total dominance. The fact that India had a 100% record and Pakistan had a big fat zero in the wins column made the streak so special and memorable.

73-55 is not a representation of total dominance, but 12-0 is brutal domination.

It is not about the number of wins; they are only 12 matches, but they were 12 World Cup matches and Pakistan had literally 0 wins.

World Cup streak >>>>> Pakistan’s superior bilateral H2H record.

Even now, 12-1 is total humiliation for Pakistan, but at least we managed to break the duck before the world came to an end.

How did you find watching your team India humiliated by a 10 wicket cruise to victory?

Btw if you go in history, please mention the overall H2H? Or maybe like Arteta they will one day surpass their levels and overtake this?

The winless world cup streak hype started mostly during the 2011 world cup. H2H will always have its value. Yes to some extent the 11-0 (wasnt one t20 a tie game, that doesnt really count as win) streak had its bragging rights, but once you win a game that streak becomes dead.

Only an Ind fan prefers WC head to heads over a record that will.last for eternity and of which 2 mattered as far as winning the WC. Our record will last a 1000 years, so suck it up.

I would not swap the overall superior H2H test or ODI record for those world cup wins va India. NO!

I would though for actual world cup trophies for obvious reasons.

[Major]

If we have to talk about streaks, than the Australia streak is the one that mattered the most. They had a winning streak in which they were winning all their games against all opponents to get the world cup.

Pakistan had to put an end to that streak, and I remember back in 2011 that bothered the Indian Fans to an extent that they were saying Australia would had played us in the quaters so we ended the streak

[Titan24]

Really happy with the win as Pak fan and breaking the streak some were really fascinated with in such a ruthless way but, much more to look ahead.

Some fans from both sides rub it in but, I think the general enmity/hatred from one side is more then the other in my opinion which is reflected in both the win and the loss of that side.

Its a sport and its an epic rivalry which should be treated as one rather then making it something like do or die, war or something else.

No one in Pakistan kept a tab on it because it was embarrassing for us. I assure you that if Pakistan was 12-0 against India in World Cups, our fans would do nonstop bhangra over it.

If Pakistan was 12-0 up against India in World Cup while India had H2H superiority, our fans would switch the narrative and claim that no one cares about meaningless bilaterals and we have a perfect winning record in World Cups which shows we handle pressure better etc.

No one cares about the Pakistan vs New Zealand World Cup record because there is no rivalry between the two teams and neither of the two sides have a perfect record against each other in World Cups.

I am sure he said as much, he writes so much dross, you forget what he has written. Who can forget his gem about IK being the greatest ever Asian cricketer in 2016 but by 2021, that had changed to Tendulkar. In that period neither had played a game. Lol

Only 2 of the those games mattered in any material sense. And the fact is that all Ind PK matches are like WC matches. I went to an exhibition game between PK Ind at Uxbridge in 1990 and fights were breaking out in the stands. Another match to raise funds SKMH between the 2 at Crystal Palace football ground was abandoned because fights broke out in the stands. It became significant because Ind fans like you were goading us about it. Throughout the history of the country’s, PK have been much better and even in the last 20 years, when we have been at our weakest, the head to heads are pretty much par. I wouldn't swap our record for eternity for WC matches.

 

[Saj]

From the current group of players I don't think any of them are really arrogant or big-headed.

Mainly young guys who haven't played against India very much and hold the Indian players in high regard.

They'll enjoy, but respect the moment.

after 1992's WC victory, this is the greatest victory that Pakistan have achieved....they defeated tournament's favorite by a gigantic margin...you cannot measure the value of this victory by any means....the professionalism that was shown by PCT was never before and never after kind of.....some Indian fans would never be able to digest this defeat....from here onwards, ICT would be scared of facing PCT in any ICC event....you should feel happy and not expect every Indian fan to praise PCT....they will try to belittle by someway or other just like Pakistani fans do after every Indian overseas test victory.....you should ignore such mickey mouse minnie mouse comments and move on.

 

[Nasty Naz]

People are celebrating but not going overboard with it, nor should they. It's literally the first match and the focus should be winning the WC and last I checked, you don't get a WC awarded for beating India...

 

[Thanos]

The thread is a self appraising thread and it's human nature to self appraise to satisfy our ego.

People who are chest thumping how Pak used to thrash India in 90s and India ran away from Sharjah, in the same sentence claiming they are humble as their faith says so. Lol.

Javed miandad still repeats this thrashing and running from Sharjah comment everytime he comes on talk show. How humbled he is.
Ramiz raza claims on live tv that "are darte hai humne champions trophy final me jo unki jo haalat ki thi". What a humble man.
Tanvir Ahmed claimed VK was afraid and ran away from Asia cup 2018 after CT17. That too when a humble Kapil dev was on other side of camera. Wow!!

I know these are individual incidents and you can come up with some Sehwag or any other Indian's nonsense comment.
The fact is, India and Pak are very populous country. And both side have equal share of humble or arrogant people. Both sides make enough fun/memes after winning game against.

So let's not chest thump which side is more humble because we aren't. A humble entity doesn't claim itself of being humble.

 

[mastimasti]

What's the reason? I don't know but it is working in Pakistan's favour. They are a team focused on bigger wins, not one match.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

It's because of pure hearts

Pakistan are in a mission to win the World Cup

[MENTION=2501]Savak[/MENTION]

There are always bad fruits in a basket.

Of course, there are bigots like Sehwag and Harbhajan who got mouth-shutting replies from our team and our fans. It's great, one should never be overconfident because the result does not lie in their hands.

However, just because we have won a game doesn't mean that we need to be inconsiderate and bash the crap out of Indians both on this wonderful platform or even in other places.

Mutual respect is nothing to be distraught about; these are players and at the end of the day, it is just a sport.

The longer we find reasons to divide ourselves over a game of bat and ball, the longer we will continue to be thorns in each others' gardens.

I've seen this irrational behavior (not you of course, but others) for quite a while. Recently, I watched a review of the game on Aaj Tak, where Vikrant Gupta was talking with two political journalists. The amount of **** that came out of those journalists' mouths was baffling; they had no concept of humanity nor did they understand anything about cricket. Their goal was to spew hatred in the media, put players under the pipe, and act like they understood that this was a game of cricket. I haven't seen anyone so stupid and brain-damaged so far, and the funniest part by far was when they claimed that it would be best for Pakistan to lose against New Zealand so that India qualified. Those two political journalists, who I'll describe as being morons, did not have the slightest conception that Pakistan winning against New Zealand benefited India more, so it is quite clear that there were dozens of attempts to politicize a performance in a sport.

But I will implore everyone on this forum to remain respectful to their counterparts. Sports and politics don't mix well. Don't be like those braindead journalists trying to dig up unnecessary information on a sporting event.

A sport is simply a way of getting entertainment, you will win and lose some affairs. Just because you win a game doesn't mean that you take away all sense of respect and humanity and beat the crap out of supporters and players of the opposition.

Similarly, just because you lose a game, you are not entitled to bash your own players senselessly and start politicizing a game.

For radical people, it is worth recognizing that Indian players do not control Indian politics, nor are they responsible for what is happening between the two countries. Just because someone bowled a few loose deliveries doesn't mean that they support the opposition.

For some people, it's just about growing a pair and using some pieces of their brains.

I am a firm believer that sport is not a way to divide people, it is an opportunity to bring people of different backgrounds together to pay heed to a great spectacle.

Sportsmanship is something that is necessary; just because Virat Kohli embraced Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan doesn't mean that he is betraying his country's stance on Kashmir.

The sooner we realize that our sportsmen are not tools of political gain, the better the playing field will become, and less sportsmen will have to suffer like Mohammad Shami is experiencing today.

You can't blame the man. He used to be a classy,funny, analytical gentleman who was unquestionably the most unbiased & level headed Indian commentator. Look at the price this man had to pay for being unbiased & paying complements to oppositions. Amitabh Bacchan of all people led the farce which almost ended his career & tarnished his legacy. So now he has no choice but to became a patriotic parrot like Sunil,Sachin,Shashtri, Sourav,Sehwag basically everybody. As the saying goes he had to eventually fall in line.

The Pakistani team have really done their homework, and i think these guys deserve all the praise.
They really took things to heart, and most importantly, they want to prove to their own selves, of where they stand.
Fans also are quite emotional because its a genuine gesture of thankfulness & positivity overall.

So yeah, everyone was stunned by these guys, really doing so so well in each & every department. Well done, richly deserved

On a side note, somebody needs to refund me some dues grrrrrrrrrrr…..

Australia got so used to beating England in the ashes for 15-16 years from 1989-2005 that the then Australian thought that the 2005 Ashes was just a formality where the Australian players did not have the same fire, intensity for that tour and they were shell shocked, unprepared for the quality of competition England offered that series

What a pathetic post. England played out of their skins and McGrath stepped on a cricket ball and was out of the series. Even then almost every match went down to the last hour.

You can’t compare sledging by oz and eng to the kind of animosity between India and pak govt. maybe the teams are showing that the cricketing fraternity is more important than regional rivalry. Maybe teams recognise that first and foremost they must all preserve crickets integrity and tribal mindset can take a backseat.

One thing is clear the current set of players from both sides are wayy more mature than most posters here and defn than some of the ex cricketers.
