Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Punjab Kings is facing severe criticism after a controversial social media post sparked outrage among cricket fans worldwide.
The team shared a match schedule poster for the highly anticipated India vs Pakistan clash, but in an unusual move, Punjab Kings displayed only India’s logo — leaving Pakistan’s spot completely blank.
The post, made on Punjab Kings’ official X (formerly Twitter) handle, quickly went viral, with fans accusing the franchise of unsporting behavior and disrespecting the spirit of cricket. Many argued that such acts fuel unnecessary rivalry off the field and tarnish the image of the sport.
Facing massive backlash, Punjab Kings disabled the comments section on the post but have so far issued no apology or clarification. Fans and analysts alike are demanding accountability, calling the act a deliberate attempt to demean Pakistan’s cricket team.
With the Asia Cup 2025 and India-Pakistan fixtures already under the global spotlight, this controversy has only intensified emotions around the world’s fiercest cricket rivalry.
