The video of the incident has gone viral on social media, with many users trolling Ayub for his failed attempt.

Many users have responded to the video, with some saying that Suryakumar Yadav is from India, not Pakistan. Others have noted that Ayub could have completed the catch without jumping to the finish line. Some have even accused Pakistani players of playing for the opposing team.
Pakistani fielders play for opposing teams.
