Karach-born and Chicago-based Mohammad Bashir (Chacha Chicago) has been a familiar figure in the stands whenever the Indian cricket team and Pakistan cricket team play and Indian superfan Sudhir Gautam has also been seen given him company at the stands.Chacha Chicago’ has been equally well-known for his love for MS Dhoni also.
However, with the gradual decline in Pakistan’s performance, the Karachi-born Mohammad Bashir has shifted allegiance to the ‘formidable’ Indian cricket team ahead of the marquee ICC Champions Trophy clash later this week.
“Ab koi muqabla nahi raha India Pakistan ka (India- Pakistan match is not the contest it used to be). India bahut aage nikal gaya hain (India are miles ahead of Pakistan),” says the Chicago-based Bashir, who is heartbroken that he would miss his first India-Pakistan clash in nearly six years.
