After a thrilling win against Pakistan in the October 27 World Cup match, South African cricketer Keshav Maharaj is continuously hitting the headlines. It is just not for his performance but his special message on Instagram too. Now, you will be thinking, what is that post all about? Right? Let us tell now that his special message just has lauded his teammates.
Taking it to Instagram, Maharaj wrote, “In God I Trust, what a special result by the boys, awesome to see the performances from @shamsi90 & @aidenmarkram.” He also lauded the performance of fellow mates Tabraiz Shamsi and Aiden Markram in the Friday match.
That’s not it, he ended his post by writing “Jai Shree Hanuman!”, a Hindu salutation to Lord Hanuman.
For those who are unaware, South Africa beat Pakistan by just one wicket in Chennai last Friday, making it a nail-biting match. Interestingly, this was South Africa's first World Cup win against Pakistan since the 1999 edition.
Tabraiz Shamsi, the South African spinner, played a crucial role in restricting Pakistan, taking four key wickets. The duo of Keshav Maharaj and Tabraiz Shamsi held their nerves to take South Africa home with 16 balls to spare.
Now, with this defeat, Pakistan has consecutively lost four out of six matches in the ongoing World Cup. Before this match, they had suffered defeats against India, Australia, and Afghanistan.
However, Pakistan is gearing up to face Bangladesh in their next match on October 31.
