Fan in stadium counts Pakistan's mistakes in Test against New Zealand on Board, picture goes viral

The sad cricket fan made famous by memes that went viral :innocent:

This picture is probably one of the most viral images that is used even today to express people’s disappointment for everything from cricket to politics on social media. :flushed: :roll_eyes: :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

In 2019 in a match between Pakistan and Australia during the Cricket World Cup in London, one memorable moment stood out: a cricket fan captured in the stands looking utterly disappointed as Asif Ali dropped a fairly easy catch.

The disappointed man quickly became fodder for a meme that went viral.

Near the end of the game ICC commentator Zainab Abbas did what most of us wanted to do - she found out who this viral fan is. His name is Mohammad Akhtar, and in his interview with Abbas he said: “It was such a straightforward catch so it was really disappointing to see it in front of me being dropped.”
