Pakistan’s collapse against a seemingly hobbled Bangladesh took the circkeketing world by storm, rendering multiple people speechless at the outcome.
But, what it did was also open the floodgates for criticism and some sharp wit from onlookers and fans alike, amongst whom Royal Challengers Bengaluru delivered a scathing diss at the Pakistan Cricket Team.
Bangladesh created history as they beat Pakistan in the second Test at Rawalpindi to complete the 2-0 series whitewash on Tuesday afternoon. Many believed that Bangladesh was too inferior of a side but the underdogs showcased some of their best cricket to claim a series victory that will be remembered for a lifetime. But we can’t say the same for Pakistan cricket as they continue hitting new lows.
This in turn acted as fodder for RCB, who took to social media to throw their cheeky shot at the downtrodden Pakistan side.

Pakistan’s loss now makes it a 10-game losing streak where they are yet to pick up a win at home. They lost six and drew four home Tests making it the longest run of losing home games barring the likes of Bangladesh and Zimbabwe in the 21st century.
Pakistan have now gone ten Tests at home without a win (six defeats & four draws) – the longest such run for a team in home games except Zimbabwe & Bangladesh in the current century.
The records keep getting worse for Pakistan as they have now checked the final side in an unwanted list where they are now the second side to suffer the embarrassing feat of having lost a Test series at home to all 10 full-member teams.
A disappointed Pakistan captain Shan Masood said they’re not learning from their mistakes and pointed out how the team has repeatedly allowed opponents to wriggle themselves out of difficult spots.
“Extremely disappointed, we were excited for the home season. The story has been the same as Australia, we have not learnt our lessons. We taught we were playing good cricket in Australia but not doing the job, that’s something we need to work on. It has happened four times in my tenure that we have left the team back into the contest when we were dominating,” Masood said.
