As soon as Haque had posted the photo, he fell victim to internet trolling. His mistake gave an opportunity to Twitter users to joke about the wrong caption.
One fan posted the childhood picture of Virat Kohli and captioned the photo as “Inzamam-ul-Haq 1976”.

Another Twitter user posted the picture of Indian wicket-keeper MS Dhoni and captioned the post as ‘Kamran Akmal 2007’.
Another user posted the picture of Pakistan batsmen Mohammad Yousuf and Younis Khan and captioned the post as “Sachin Tendulkar and Vinod Kambli 1982”.
Pakistan lost to India by 89 runs on Sunday at Manchester, and since then the team has faced serious backlash from their own fans about their training regime and lack of team chemistry.
India maintained their untainted record against Pakistan in a World Cup, as that win made their record extend to seven wins without any losses against the arch-rivals.
