Fans are unhappy with the fitness standard of Pakistan cricketers as they are nowhere close to their Indian counterparts.

Following their heart-wrenching defeat to India fans went crazy and started searching reasons for Pakistan's defeat. When fans were doing this, a number of photos and videos emerged on social media that allegedly showed Pakistani cricketers spending time at a Shisha cafe (Hookah cafe) late at night on the eve of their high-octane clash against archrival India.

  • When the captain is yawning on the field & the fielding is non existent; & when sheesha smoking is indulged in hours before the match - what can one expect but humiliation. That the captain decided to let India bat first was simply the last straw! Or was that Malik's instant out?

Indian tennis star Sania Mirza was also present there. Fans spotted that Malik smoking hookah at around 2 am local time at the cafe on Winslow Road in Manchester, while others were seen having junk food, including "burgers and pizzas”.

Though there is no harm enjoying a night-out, the reported outing on the eve of an important match against India has sparked outrage among Pakistani fans. Even Pakistan's Minister for Human Rights Shireen Mazari balmed hookah for Pakistan's defeat. She even ushered praise on the Indian team while lashing out 'yawning' captain Sarfaraz Ahmed led Pakistan team. "Hate to admit it but today there was a professional well-gelled cricket team that was the Indian team," Mazari tweeted.

Finger has been raised against Malik who was dismissed for a duck by Hardik Pandya on the first ball he faced.

The fans also didn't shy away to target Sania Mirza as they blamed her for Malik's poor performance which prompted her to react on Twitter. She alleged that the video was shot without their permission and “people are allowed to eat even if they lose a match.”

Meanwhile, in another video, a teary-eyed Pakistani fan was heard saying the players were having burgers before the game and that is why they lost. He even said that Pakistani players are only good for 'dangal' (wrestling) and not cricket.

It must be noted that the Pakistan cricket team has always had fitness issue while the current Indian players are fit and cautious about their fitness and diet.
