DUBAI: Violence against Muslims in India was also reported after the emphatic 10-wicket win on Sunday. Cricket clashes between Hindu-majority India and Pakistan frequently heighten tensions between the neighbours, who have fought three wars since their independence in 1947. The 31-year-old Mohammed Shami became the main target after the defeat in Dubai, even though India captain Virat Kohli acknowledged that his side had been “outplayed”. Hundreds of messages were left on Shami’s Instagram account saying he was a “traitor” and should be thrown out of the Indian team. Two Pakistan supporters were beaten by India fans as they celebrated the win in one southern district, media reports said.
