His epic reaction, in which he’s looking disappointed at seeing Pakistan’s performance on the field, went viral in no time and finds mentions amongst cricketing fans even now. Ahead of the England vs Pakistan 2020 series, the Pakistan super fan has made a return to share a special message for the team. However, the famous fan has once again been trolled online.

The Pakistan super fan first went viral during the 2019 World Cup, when his ‘disappointed’ expression was the base for thousands of funny memes. Sarim’s epic reaction had gone viral after TV cameras spotted the fan looking angry and disappointed while watching the World Cup match between Pakistan and Australia. After his reaction went viral, the famous fan had later revealed that his iconic expression was a response to a dropped catch on the field, with broadcasters managing to catch Sarim’s unhappy reaction. After the incident was captured, ‘Angry Pakistani fan’ memes were used as part of several comical memes online.

While the message was loved by many cricket fans, some were quick to troll the fan as well. One user wrote about how it is ironic that despite the incident taking place almost a year ago, Sarim is still wearing the same clothes he was wearing that day. Several fans used Sarim’s own meme to troll the fan, with one fan using the viral meme to give a hint of his reaction after watching the video. Another fan tweeted that the Sarim’s viral expression during 2019 would be the same one the fan would have after the England vs Pakistan 2020 series ends.
