Once again, Sehwag left the internet laughing in tears as he mocked Pakistan with a post which went viral.

Sehwag, who is known for his witty remarks, took to X to troll the neighbouring country.
"Pakistan Zindabhaag! Have a safe flight back home," he wrote.
To surpass New Zealand's net run-rate, Pakistan will need to defeat England by 287 runs or chase the target in a short amount of overs. For a team that has lost four straight tournament games, the challenge is unachievable. In the batting department, Babar Azam hasn't accomplished much, while as a bowler, Shaheen Afridi has disappointed a lot.
Fans were expecting a semifinal between India and Pakistan at the Eden Gardens but the scene looks next to impossible for Babar and co to qualify for the knockout stages.

So far in the ODI World Cup, India have defeated five-time winners Australia, Afghanistan, arch-rivals Pakistan, Bangladesh, New Zealand, England, Sri Lanka, and South Africa, and will try to make it nine wins in a row to end the league stage and advance to the semifinals.
India moved to the top of the points standings with their eighth straight win in the ongoing tournament. The fact that hitman Rohit scored more than 400 runs in eight innings with a strike rate of more than 120 demonstrates his domination with the bat in this World Cup.
"It's a really great experience. Many veteran players are playing in that league. I am sure India will win the World Cup this year. Because all our players are performing really well. Out batters and bowlers are producing great performances. I want to see this World Cup trophy in Rohit Sharma's hands. I have coached him since he was 12," Dinesh Lad told ANI.
Men in Blue will face the Netherlands in their last league match in the ongoing tournament at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Sunday.
