Shanawaz Dhahani's Journey to Sri Lanka: Arrival and Departure on the Same Day, Netizens Troll

“Pakistani fast bowler Shanawaz Dhahani who arrived at Colombo airport was surprised and the entire Pakistan team was waiting to receive him… Captain Babar Azam said to Dhahani who was full of eyes, “Da Manda, we have come to go back, not to receive you… Don’t you know that we have lost, Asia Cup Guda Govt….”

This is one of the trolls about Shanawaz Dhahani’s trip to Sri Lanka. Shanawaz Dhahani’s Karachi-Dubai-Colombo journey can answer the question of what is the shortest journey in cricket.

Dhahani was called up by the Pakistan team after Pakistan pace bowler Haris Rauf was injured. It was confirmed that the final would be played. Dhahani himself tweeted a picture of his journey from Karachi to join the Pakistan team in Sri Lanka. ‘Next stop is Dubai, then Colombo…’ By the time Dhahani’s plane landed in Colombo, the Pakistan team was out of the Asia Cup after losing to Sri Lanka. Then the star was ‘acquired’ by social media. The trolley made a way.

‘There is no need to open Dhahani’s three bags including the cricket kit… we can put them back on the plane the same way..’, ‘You can take a U-turn and go to Ahmedabad…’ the trolls say.

Former Pakistan cricketer Rashid Latif had anticipated this and tweeted; ‘Shanawaz Dhahani’s traveling plan-Islamabad-Karachi, Karachi-Lahore overnight stay at N.C.A. Another change in plan…Lahore-Karachi, Karachi-Dubai tonight, Dubai-Colombo tomorrow…If there is any doubt that the Pak team won’t qualify then don’t fly back…’

Taking a dig at social media trolls, Dhahani shared Rashid Latif’s post and wrote: ‘This is life….’
