T20 World Cup: Wasim Jaffer, Dinesh Karthik Leave Fans In Splits Ahead Of Group-Deciding New Zealand vs Afghanistan Game

All eyes will be on the Afghanistan cricket team as it takes on New Zealand in a Super 12 game of the ongoing T20 World Cup at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi on Sunday. Fans of the Indian cricket team, especially, will back the Mohammad Nabi-led to stage an upset against the Black Caps as this could bolster India's chances of qualifying for the semis.

Afghanistan too have a chance of qualifying for the semi-finals if they beat New Zealand by a huge margin and hope that Namibia do well, or even win for that matter, against India on Monday.

Ahead of the group-deciding game between New Zealand and Afghanistan, former India batter Wasim Jaffer, who is known for his social media antics, took to Twitter and shared a hilarious meme, leaving Twitterati in splits.

Jaffer posted a short clip from a famous Bollywood movie to voice his support for Afghanistan ahead of their game against the Kiwis.
