If cricket is a religion in the subcontinent, then India vs Pakistan is its biggest festival, and while fans tuned in for sixes, wickets, and scoreboard drama at the ICC T20 World Cup, social media quietly declared another winner, memes.
Yes, the match had everything. India posted a solid 175/6 in 20 overs. Ishan Kishan smashed 77 off 40 balls. Wickets fell. Pressure built. But somewhere between those overs, Pakistani mystery spinner Usman Tariq delivered something the internet simply could not ignore, his ‘delayed’ bowling action.
Usman Tariq and Babar Azam Meme Trending During IND vs PAK Match
While fans expected fiery spells and tactical battles, Tariq’s unusual run-up and release grabbed attention instantly. Cameras zoomed in. Commentators paused. Twitter (sorry, X) exploded.
Usman Tariq’s bowling action started numerous memes on social media. The Pakistani mystery spinner went viral during the India vs Pakistan match in the T20 World Cup 2026.
Many of the memes had a ‘chucking’ angle. Even Zepto made fun of Usman Tariq’s ‘delayed’ bowling action.
Within minutes, clips of his delivery were circulating across platforms. Some compared it to buffering the internet. Others joked that the ball reached the batter before his arm completed the motion.
