Sharing it, Ayushmann wrote, “It’s been almost 24 hours but can’t get over last night’s nerves. There’s always heartbreak when India loses a match. But let’s look at the silver lining. Kohli is in the form now!”

“SKY is looking good. Also, our openers, Let’s not be fickle and fair weather. We should support our team even when they lose a close one. And for God’s sake, stop trolling Arshdeep. He’s a great prospect. Expecting fireworks in the rest of the tournament. Praying for the next clash ????????,” he further added to the post.

Ind-Pak game

Arshdeep Singh dropped Asif Ali's catch in the 18th over on Sunday at the Dubai International Stadium. Many fans criticized Arshdeep on social media, calling him names and some even labeling him a traitor.

Earlier, it was Swara Bhasker, Gul Panag, Pooja Bhatt, and dialogue writer-lyricist Varun Grover who came out in support of Arshdeep amid criticism after the match. Swara Bhasker said on Twitter, "We love you, and we are proud of you arshdeepsinghh! Stand strong! (yellow heart and national flag emojis)." Gul Panag also tweeted, "Truly tragic the way arshdeepsinghh has been trolled. And it appears to be the handiwork of another IT cell. Don’t fall for it. P.S. The misfortune of devious propaganda is that others can do it too. And it works like a dog whistle, with the intended recipients unaware."

We love you and we are proud of you arshdeepsinghh ! Stand strong! ????????????

Don’t fall for it.

P.S. The misfortune of devious propaganda is, others can do it too. And it works like a dog whistle, with the intended recipients unaware.
