"Forgive Them": Rahul Gandhi To Mohammad Shami On Online Hate Attack

Mohammad Shami's online trolling post India's loss in its opening match of the T20 World Cup by Pakistan was condemned by Rahul Gandhi, Omar Abdullah, Asaduddin Owaisi, among others.

Mohammad Shami, who was viciously attacked online after India lost to Pakistan in their T20 World Cup opening match, found some belated TLC from both politicians and sporting heroes.

Rahul Gandhi, Omar Abdullah, Asaduddin Owaisi stood by the Indian bowler and condemned his targeting by the social media trolls.

"Mohammad #Shami we are all with you. These people are filled with hate because nobody gives them any love. Forgive them," Rahul Gandhi tweeted in support of the cricketer, blunting the online hate received by the Indian bowler.

It was in Shami's over that Pakistan completed the 152-run chase with Mohammad Rizwan depositing the Indian pacer to all parts of the ground in Dubai. Shami was subjected to much trolling after the paceman returned figures of 0/43 in 3.5 overs.
