Angry Pakistan Cricket Team Fans Shout 'Parchi, Parchi' Slogans in Lahore During Green Shirts' Dismal Show Against England in the Final T20I (Watch Video)
After seeing Pakistan batsmen lack the intent and failing to produce a fight against England in the 7th T20I, fans shouted 'parch, parchi' slogans when Khushdil Shah and Shan Masood were batting. The video is now viral.
Pakistan lost the seven-game home series against England 4-3 after the defeat in the seventh and final T20I. Set a daunting target of 210 runs, Pakistan never looked comfortable in the chase despite having wickets in hand and eventually lost the match by 67 runs. The batsmen lacked the intent and failed to produce a fight. Seeing their team's abject surrender, fans shouted 'parch, parchi' slogans when Khushdil Shah and Shan Masood were batting. The rants grew louder once Khushdil was dismissed and was on his way back to the dug out. In Pakistan 'parchi player' is referred to a player who allegedly has influential backing and makes it to the team based on that, Nepotism, in another words. Parchi is an Urdu word meaning receipt. Pakistan cricketer Imam ul Haq took to Twitter and shared the video of the slogans and also urged fans to 'avoid such rants'.

I would like to request our fans to avoid such rants at any player as it can badly impact the player’s health and try to support them like you always do, regardless of the results. We play for YOU, we play for PAKISTAN 🇵🇰 Stay blessed ✨
