Pakistan inflicted a stunning whitewash on Australia in the three-match T20I series by winning the last game by 33 runs. They have strengthened their number 1 position in the shortest format now while Australia’s problems continue to pile on across all the forms of the game. Dean Jones was also delighted for the Men in Green after they won the game and praised them for a brilliant performance. However, a fan didn’t like the same and went on to abuse Jones to which he came up with a heart-winning response.

All is not well between Indian and Pakistani fans ever since the Champions Trophy final last year. Every now and then, the people from both the countries keep on fighting against each other for no reason. Moreover, India’s twin wins over Pakistan in the Asia Cup has made things even worse. While Sarfraz Ahmed and his troops deserve all the accolades coming their way, there is no reason why an Indian fan should abuse the cricketer turned commentator for praising them.

Jones’ response

Dean Jones, soon after Pakistan’s win over the Aussies, took to his official Twitter handle to laud the Men in Green for their efforts. He congratulated the team for a perfect performance in the series but was perplexed with Australia’s batting order. D’Arcy Short, who opened the innings in the previous two matches, was sent at number seven in the chase and his struggle was evident from the word go.

“Well done Pakistan on your Greenwash against Australia! Can someone tell me.. why was Short batting at 7?” Jones tweeted after the match. However, in reply, one of the fans abused him only for the reason that he was praising India’s arch-rivals Pakistan.

Jones, like his playful nature, didn’t lose his cool and came up with a befitting response saying that one has to give credit where it is due.

Here’s the thread of the convo:
