Vijay Shankar abused by Pakistani fans at World Cup 2019: Currently Pakistan’s star fast bowler Haris Rauf has become a topic of discussion everywhere. A video is going viral very fast on social media. In this video, he is seen fighting with some fans. This is not the first time when this kind of feud between fans and cricketers has come to light. Such cases have come to light in the past as well. A similar incident has also happened with all-rounder Vijay Shankar, who was left out of the Indian team.
Recalling the incident, the 33-year-old all-rounder said he was on a tour of England for the World Cup in 2019. Before an important match against Pakistan, some Pakistani cricket fans misbehaved with him and used foul language. But he did not turn back and did not say a word.
A day before India vs Pakistan in the 2019 WC, Vijay Shankar was abused by a Pakistani fan in Manchester.
He could have made a scene and run a PR campaign like Haris Rauf for sympathy.
Instead he concentrated on cricket and took his 1st ball wicket the next day. pic.twitter.com/lYumODnkRo
