The stadium in Hyderabad is filled with Pakistan supporters everywhere. The entire stadium is chanting “Jeetega Bhai Jeetega, Pakistan Jeetega”.It is beyond understanding whom these fools support even during India vs Pakistan. Why does your government support such anti-nationals?#PAKvSL

No surprise there. While Sri Lanka is geographically close to Hyderabad, Pakistan is demographically close to Hyderabad to receive such support. pic.twitter.com/MtDjAeMqI8

It is heartening to see the support Pakistan is getting at the Hyderabad Stadium. Thousands of people are simultaneously raising slogans of Jeetega Bhi Jeetega Pakistan Jeetega. Really brought tears to my eyes.

Whenever Pakistan hits a four against Lanka in Hyderabad, there is loud cheering on TV.
It seems BCCI is adding pre-recorded crowd cheers to the broadcast to enhance the fan experience.
What other reason could there be for cheering Pakistan in India? Can’t think about anyone.

Former Pakistani cricketer says Pakistan cricket team will get support in Hyderabad and Ahmedabad due to their “high Muslim population”.
Earlier in September, former Pakistani cricketer Mushtaq Ahmed had said that cities like Hyderabad and Ahmedabad have a large Muslim population and hence he will support the Pakistani cricket team in the upcoming ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 matches to be held in India. Mushtaq Ahmed made these comments when he was speaking as a panelist in a discussion on Pakistani news channel Samaa TV.
Pakistani cricket team reached Hyderabad, India on 27 September 2023 to participate in the World Cup. Others on the panel along with the anchor included Pakistani women’s cricketer Iram Javed and Pakistani cricket analyst Hafeez Imran.
Asked whether the Pakistan cricket team would get support in India, Mushtaq Ahmed said, “Both their cities – Ahmedabad and Hyderabad – have a very high Muslim population. This is why you must have seen how he was welcomed outside the airport and even outside the hotel. One of your correspondents or our player Khawaja might have covered it.”
