Azhar's Reaction did not go down well with these fans:

Support ke naam pe zero aur criticism ke naam pe hero, ye hai duniya ka dastur

Excuse me sir, but how many world cup finals, okay semifinals, okay ANY knockout games did your team win against the Aussies in your day? And for your information, this team has WON a silver medal at the CWG! Show them some freaking respect, if you're capable of that, of course!

Sometimes criticism is good

Any emotions that overflow are not because of lacking respect only because of the love on team India. It is indeed an easy win match. With two run outs and ball a run situation, we can't give match just like that and Azhar point is right.
