The men in blue locked horns with the arch-rivals Pakistan in their tournament opener of the 20-20 World Cup 2022. The Melbourne Cricket Ground of Melbourne hosted this high-octane clash of the tournament between two South Asian Giants. The match witnessed everything that the Indo-Pak rivalry is known for.

The men in green were asked to bat after losing the toss and they managed to post a total of 159 runs for the loss of eight wickets in the allotted 20 overs. Senior batters Iftikhar Ahmed and Shan Masood played the brilliant half-century knocks of 52 and 51 runs respectively.

While chasing the target, the Indians were struggling at an instance when they lost four wickets only on the score of 31 runs having former skipper Virat Kohli and star all-rounder Virat Kohli. Cut to the final over, Virat Kohli had played an amazing knock of 82 runs off 52 balls and now India needed 2 runs off the last ball.

Meanwhile, former Indian southpaw Gautam Gambhir was looking very reluctant having no reactions on his face even after the win of India, as can be seen in the video shared by the broadcasters later. This attitude of Gambhir during such a high-voltage match and a big win for his country didn’t go down with the Indian cricket fans and they took no time in lashing out at the two-time World Cup winner batter on the social media platform, Twitter.

Here's the video:

Here's how fans reacted to the viral video of Gambhir looking ‘sleepy and ignorant’:
