IND vs PAK: Nasser Hussain Clarifies "Fake" Quote That Goes Viral After India Beat Pakistan In MCG Thriller

In the present T20 World Cup, India and Pakistan played a match that will go down in history on Sunday. In a last-ball thriller, Rohit Sharma and company emerged victorious by four wickets thanks to a batting masterpiece by Virat Kohli.

In order to assist the team reach its goal of 160, the former India captain played an unbroken innings of 82 off just 53 balls. Nasser Hussain, a former England captain, criticised a fan for using a “fake” comment that was ascribed to him after the game. 

Mohammad Nawaz had to save 16 runs in the penultimate over, and the score was 13 off 3. In the fourth ball of the over, Kohli hit a huge six, and to make matters worse for Pakistan, the delivery was ruled to be above the waist and so not a ball. As a result, the solution was 6 off 3 balls.

Then, a follower wrote with a picture of Nasser: “Nasser Hussain: The umpires made some weird decision in favour of India today but maybe we should keep quiet and not upset ICC and BCCI. Brutally honest from Nasser Hussain.” 

It was at that point, though, that the former England captain clarified the situation on Twitter by denying making the statement and urging people not to ruin a fantastic cricket match. 

“Probably best if you can delete this, please .. it’s fake news and a fake quote and definitely not what a great game of cricket like todays deserves !! Thanks,” tweeted Nasser Hussain.
