Watch: Furious Pakistan fans shatters TV screens after India hand them crushing T20 World Cup blow

Once again it was established that the so-called rivalry between India and Pakistan in the cricket field is not even a contest in real. India continued their winning ritual against Pakistan with a 61-run triumph in their T20 World Cup 2026 clash on February 15 at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. While the stadium hummed with an electric atmosphere, the scenes unfolding on the streets of Pakistan painted a far darker picture of heartbreak and public outrage.

India’s big win sparks outrage as Pakistan fans Break TVs in frustration

For many supporters, cricket is the ultimate vessel for national pride, and when that pride is wounded, the reaction can be visceral. Following Pakistan’s lackluster performance against their arch-rivals, frustration quickly boiled over into a scene that has become a recurring, albeit unfortunate, motif of this storied rivalry. The disappointment of the defeat moved beyond mere sporting critique, manifesting as a raw, physical expression of grief.

In the immediate aftermath of the final ball, social media was flooded with a viral video capturing a group of supporters in a state of absolute fury. The footage depicts a group of men hauling a large television set into an open courtyard, surrounded by a crowd of disillusioned fans. The collective anger of the group was palpable as the situation escalated from verbal protest to physical destruction.

The scene reached a breaking point as the crowd began pelting the television with stones, shattering the glass before eventually reducing the device to rubble with heavy objects. This act of destruction highlights the crushing weight of expectation placed upon the Pakistani squad. For these fans, the loss was viewed as more than just a setback on the points table; it was seen as a surrender on the world’s biggest stage, leaving them with a sense of betrayal that only a broken screen could seemingly quantify.

Ishan Kishan storm blows Pakistan away

A clinical 61-run victory was orchestrated by a sensational performance from Player of the Match Ishan Kishan, whose explosive 77 off 40 balls anchored the Indian innings. Kishan’s knock was a masterclass in controlled aggression, providing the backbone for a total that would eventually prove insurmountable for the opposition.

The Pakistani chase never found its rhythm, beginning with a disastrous Powerplay that knocked the wind out of their sails. Hardik Pandya struck in the very first over to remove Sahibzada Farhan for a duck, followed shortly by Jasprit Bumrah, who dismantled the top order by dismissing Saim Ayub and Salman Agha in quick succession. By the end of the sixth over, Pakistan was reeling at a precarious 38/4, leaving their hopes of a comeback looking increasingly bleak.

The collapse was compounded by an uncharacteristic struggle from Babar Azam, who managed just 5 runs off 7 balls before being cleaned up by Axar Patel. While Usman Khan provided a brief spark of resistance with a defiant 44, the spin duo of Varun Chakravarthy and Kuldeep Yadav tightened the noose, suffocating any chance of a late-order miracle. The innings finally folded in the 18th over for a meager 114 runs, propelling India to the top of Group A and leaving Pakistan’s World Cup dreams hanging by a thread.
