"Pakistan Struggles With Troll Media": Ex-India Star's Brutal Verdict With Salman Agha And Co On Brink Of Exit

As Pakistan's hopes of advancing to the semifinals of the T20 World Cup 2026 dwindle, former Indian cricketer Irfan Pathan has criticized the nation's 'troll media' for exacerbating pressures on the players. Pathan emphasized that the relentless scrutiny from social media and fan commentary is detrimental to team morale, especially at such a crucial juncture in the tournament. With the team struggling to secure victories, the added stress from public criticism could potentially lead to a further decline in performance. The discourse surrounding Pakistan's cricketing fate raises important questions about the impact of media narratives on player psychology and team dynamics. As the team faces the prospect of exiting the tournament, the role of media, both traditional and digital, comes under scrutiny for its influence on athletes during high-stakes competitions.
