The T20 World Cup match between the USA and India sparked a social media feud between USA cricketers Jaskaran Malhotra and Ali Khan. Following USA's loss to India, Jaskaran shared a meme on X, formerly known as Twitter, poking fun at his teammate Shayan Jahangir's golden duck. The meme referenced a previous statement by Jahangir where he expressed his desire to play against Virat Kohli and show him "who's king."
Ali Khan, disappointed by Jaskaran's post, criticised his ex-teammate for displaying hate towards another player, deeming it unprofessional. In response, Jaskaran defended himself, urging Ali Khan to review his post and claiming he was merely supporting his team.
Jaskaran is renowned for his achievement of hitting six sixes in an over during an ODI match in 2021 and for becoming the first USA player to score a century in ODIs, with an unbeaten 173 off 124 balls.
