Indian Twitter Trolled Ramiz Raja When He Tweeted That Pak Did Not Show Federer-Nadal Final

People went crazy all over the world when Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal played a final at the Australian Open in Melbourne this year.

Both were injury-ridden some months back and almost everyone had given up the hopes of watching the greatest tennis rivalry ever in action again. But it did happen!

And guess what? The epic match was not televised in Pakistan!

You read that right. The country did not broadcast the Aus Open final at all. Yes, people could have watched it online, but the Internet is a privilege very few people have in Pakistan.

 

Famous cricketer-turned-commentator Ramiz Raja took to Twitter to voice his frustration

Unbelievable: We are such a sports unfriendly nation that no channel showed the iconic Federer Nadal Australian Open final..shameful ..

— Ramiz Raja (@iramizraja) January 29, 2017

The tweet went viral and many Pakistanis agreed with him.

 

But a Pakistani frustration on Twitter is funny fodder for the Indian Twitter! And the Indian replies to Ramiz Raja were nothing short of razor sharp wit

 

1. Even Indians know about the frequent power failures in Pakistan
