Hyderabad: Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, also known as Uppal Stadium, echoed with ‘Pakistan Jeetega’ chants during the Pakistan vs. Sri Lanka ICC World Cup match yesterday.
In a video that is circulating on social media, a DJ can be heard saying ‘Jeetega bhai jeetega,’ and the crowd joined in, chanting ‘Pakistan jeetega.’
After the video of the ICC World Cup match went viral on social media, many netizens started reacting to it. One of them wrote, “They voted for Pakistan in 1947 and will always support it. These types should have no place in Bharat.”
Reacting to the ICC World Cup match video, another social media user wrote, “Hyderabad chants Jitega Bhai Jitega Pakistan Jitega. That is allowed! But when we say that, you chant ‘Bharat Mata ki Jai.’ That is shameful, not allowed? Then you say, ‘Humari kaum ki Deshbhakti par doubt kyu’?”

This was the first time in men’s Cricket World Cup history that four centuries have been hit in the same match, with Pakistan coming out on top in a high-scoring thriller.
