Twitter Trolls Pakistan Cricket Board Over Marnus Labuschagne's "Daal And Roti For Lunch" Pic
Marnus Labuschagne shared a picture of him enjoying "daal and roti" but Twitter was certainly not impressed.
After a drab draw in the opening Test between Pakistan and Australia in Rawalpindi, the two teams resumed rivalries in the second Test in Karachi that started today. Ahead of the Karachi Test, Australia batter Marnus Labuschagne on Friday shared a picture of him enjoying "daal and roti" for lunch. The Australian cricketer wrote that the meal was "delicious", however, Twitter was not impressed. Many fans took to the social media platform to troll the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).
"Daal and roti for lunch too. Delicious," tweeted Marnus Labuschagne with a picture of his meal.

Twitter was having none of it with many comparing it to food given in prisons.
My man Marnus is here to reaffirm that @TheRealPCB has actually kept all of them at a jail. https://t.co/fGnCDviM7A

This is not daal. This is daal ka pani. Isme dubki laga kar daal dhundna padega. No tadka either.

On Saturday, Australia captain Pat Cummins won the toss and elected to bat against Pakistan in the second Test in Karachi.
The visitors dropped fast bowler Josh Hazlewood from the first Test line up and handed a debut to leg-spinner Mitchell Swepson to bolster their spin attack.
The 28-year-old Swepson is the first specialist leg-spinner to play a Test for Australia since Bryce McGain against South Africa in 2009.Â
Pakistan brought back frontline paceman Hasan Ali and allrounder Faheem Ashraf -- who both missed the first Test due to injuries -- replacing Iftikhar Ahmed and Naseem Shah.
Pakistan beat South Africa by seven wickets in Karachi last year with spinners taking 18 of the 33 wickets to fall, with current Pakistan squad member Nauman Ali taking seven on debut.
Australia are on their first tour of Pakistan since 1998, having previously refused to visit over security fears.
The third and final Test is in Lahore from March 21-25.Â
