ICC Cricket World Cup 2019: Pakistan's Nobel Laureate Malala Yousafzai Mocks India, Leaves Fans Angry – VIDEO

During the event, a friendly 60-second gully cricket tournament for 10 participating nations, featuring legends of the game and eminent personalities from other walks of life, was held. Former India captain Anil Kumble and Bollywood actor Farhan Akhtar represented India, while Yousufzai and former cricketer Azhar Ali represented Pakistan.

After the tournament, a playful Yousufzai said to presenter Shibani Dandekar that "Pakistan, we were okay, not too bad. We came seventh. But at least we were not last like India."

You praise Pakistan, a nation where you can't go.
You demean India like a typical brainwashed Pakistani, yet India is a nation which you can safely visit.
Stop being petty and disgusting @Malala. pic.twitter.com/MGugFTKCfV

Malala insulted India at a WC event!

An essential condition for winning a nobel for peace is to rise above petty and hateful nationalism. You clearly don't deserve the award @Malala

Typical Pakistani mindset from this overrated malala.
She is happy that India came last.
She doesn't even have the courage to live in her country,yet she takes on India here.
Where was she when teenage Hindu girls in Pakistan were forcefully converted to Islam and married?#CWC19 pic.twitter.com/mUjL8F8IOg

India will take on Pakistan on June 16 at Old Trafford, Manchester. India have never lost Pakistan in an ICC Cricket World Cup.
