Actor Kumail Nanjiani supported Pakistan against India

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.
