Pakistan arrived in India after a long wait of seven years for the 2023 World Cup. The team had a great welcome in the presence of Pakistan’s biggest fan, Mohammad Bashir, a.k.a. Bashir Chacha, at the Hyderabad airport. Several media channels reported that Bashir Chacha was henceforth detained for questioning. However, the Pak fan confirmed that he was never detained for any questioning at the Hyderabad airport.
“I was never detained for questioning at the airport while I was there to receive the Pakistan team. It was just that they asked me not to wave the Pakistan flag due to security issues. They just took my flag and gave it back once the team departed. It was a fantastic welcome, and I am very happy to be here in India for the World Cup,” Bashir told Sportstar.
The famous Pakistani fan arrived in India two days prior from Chicago before the Pakistan team and is currently residing at his relatives place.
