ODI World Cup 2023

WATCH: Streamer ‘Speed’ brutally trolls Pakistan Skipper Babar Azam ahead of India’s marque clash in ODI World Cup 2023

The ongoing ODI World Cup 2023 has set the cricket fervour blazing in India, and amidst the excitement, the renowned streamer, Speed, has made his presence felt in the subcontinent. On Thursday morning, Speed was spotted at various locations in Mumbai, donning an Indian jersey with “Virat Kohli” inscribed on the back.

His videos have been sweeping across social media, garnering widespread attention for his entertaining antics. However, one particular video went viral, in which Speed playfully trolled Pakistan’s skipper, Babar Azam. While taking his turn at batting in a street cricket match, Speed struggled to make contact with the ball and humorously said, “I am playing like Babar Azam right now.”

Here is the video:

Meanwhile, in another viral video, Speed engaged in a light-hearted dispute with a fruit vendor in Mumbai over change. After purchasing a banana, he handed the vendor a 100-rupee note and requested change, but the vendor initially declined. Fortunately, the situation was resolved soon. Apart from that Speed was also seen bowling in a unique way at the same ground. He was roaming in the city by donning India’s World Cup jersey and a white Dhoti.

Can Pakistan stop India’s winning chariot?

In the last seven World Cup encounters, India has defeated Pakistan. The arch-rivals will look to avenge the previous defeats and register their first win against India in the ODI World Cup. It’s worth noting that in the first two games, Pakistan defeated the Netherlands and Sri Lanka by 81 runs and 6 wickets, respectively. During their game against Sri Lanka, they also registered the highest-ever run chase in World Cup history.

On the other hand, India had a great start to their World Cup campaign. The team beat Australia by six wickets and Afghanistan by eight wickets in the first two games. Skipper Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, and Ishan Kishan are all in good form, and the team will rely on them during the game. Meanwhile, spinner Kuldeep Yadav, pacer Jasprit Bumrah, and all-rounder Hardik Pandya will also be looking to continue their contributions.
