Pakistan's prime minister faced public correction on social media after posting about a "victory over India," with a former Indian cricketer responding with the Hindi phrase "UAE se haare" — meaning "lost to UAE."
The exchange occurred on October 31, 2026, though the specific context of the prime minister's original post and the cricket match referenced were not detailed in initial reports. The former cricketer's rebuttal appeared to reference a defeat suffered by Pakistan against the United Arab Emirates.
The incident highlights how cricket rivalries between Pakistan and India frequently spill into political discourse and social media, with past results often cited in online exchanges.
