American actor of Pakistani origin Kumail Nanjiani was among the several celebrities who enjoyed Pakistan’s stunning T20 World Cup victory against India.
He was keeping a close eye on the high octane game between the two Asian sides, which later became a one-sided affair as Pakistan beat India comfortably by 10 wickets for the first time ever in a world cup match.
The Eternals star began his thread of commentary by saying that Babar Azam-led side needs to complete the 152-run chase early instead of dragging it till the end.
Ok Pakistan needs to finish this up now. Let’s not leave it to the end.
