Yaar, look at this tweet and tell me if you can keep a straight face.
Neelam Parveen (@neeli5656) – verified blue tick and everything – posted 6 hours ago:
"Should Pakistan appoint Babar Azam as T20I captain once again? 🇵🇰😊
Babar Azam"
with a nice photo of him in presser mode looking serious.
And the replies? A full circus of keyboard warriors doing what they do best: worshipping, defending, simping, and pretending 2021 never ended.
These people are not fans – they are fanboys in the most embarrassing, brain-dead sense of the word.
They treat Babar like he's still the 2021 version who walked on water. Five years later – five full years of ducks, low strike rates, leadership collapses, team drama, sponsor protection – and they're still typing "once again" like nothing happened.
"King is back"
"Babar = Pakistan"
"Only Babar can save us"
"Rest all are useless, bring back Babar captain"
Bro. It's 2026.
We've suffered through 2021 social media kings turning into 2026 liabilities, and these keyboard warriors are still writing love letters in the replies like it's Valentine's Day for nostalgia.
This is the same toxic fanboy cult that:
- hyped the same five players for half a decade
- defended every failure with "he's under pressure" or "team support nahi de raha"
- attacked anyone who dared criticise with "jealous hain", "hater ho", "Babar se zyada khel liya?"
- pressured PCB to keep picking them for "brand value" and "fan following"
- then flipped to hate mode the second they fail (again) – memes, abuse, "drop him forever" threads
They don't love cricket. They love their idol.
They don't want Pakistan to win. They want their timeline to look like a shrine.
And PCB listens to this noise. That's the disgusting part.
Selections become popularity contests because these fanboys scream loudest.
Captaincy decisions become PR exercises because "Babar fans will riot".
Actual merit, form, hunger? Buried under hashtags and blue-tick worship.
High time we stop suffering these keyboard warriors.
They are not supporters – they are musibat.
They built the 2021 king myth, forced PCB to protect it, then cry when the myth crumbles.
Let them cry louder. Let the team crash out. Let the humiliation force a purge of these social media relics.
No more 2021 nostalgia. No more protecting kings for likes.
Merit or nothing – or stay home and let real cricketers take over.
You seeing the same fanboy shrine replies under that tweet? Paste the most delusional ones in comments – let's laugh at them until they block us.
Ramadan Mubarak – stay strong on the fast.
