The T20 World Cup is just around the corner and the stakes are high, as far as India's squad is concerned, with multiple players fighting for a single spot in the team.

Wasim Akram Slams India, Pakistan Fans' Trolling, Says 'When Hardik Pandya's Kid..."

You don't think it hurts him? It hurts him. It hurts any human being. How many people actually know the reality of it? Hardik is dealing with mental health issues, for sure. We, as people, I understand, as Indians, we are emotional. But it is not right to impose this kind of treatment on any human being. It is unbecoming as a society for us to do that to someone and be okay with it. We should not be laughing along with it. We should not be forwarding these memes," he said on the Ranveer Show.
