‘Umar Akmal must be proud’- Arshdeep Singh gets heavily trolled for misspelling ‘Melbourne’ in his Instagram Story

The Indian Cricket team have arrived in Melbourne ahead of their opening match of the 20-20 World Cup against arch-rivals Pakistan on Sunday. The Board released a video covering the journey of the team from Brisbane to Melbourne. Several players also gave an update on their arrival in Melbourne on their social media handles. Seamer Arshdeep Singh also did the same on his Instagram story which went viral for the wrong reasons.

The seamer shared the top view of the city from the flight and captioned it ‘Mailborn it is’. As soon as the story went live on Instagram, people began trolling Arshdeep for misspelling ‘Melbourne’ as ‘Mailborn’. The 23-year-old further updated another story and this time he spelled the city’s name as ‘Male-bone’.

It seems as if the southpaw was taking a dig at the trollers with his second story for mocking him for his spelling mistake.

India vs Pakistan match in danger of being washed out

India and Pakistan are all set to clash in their opening match on Sunday at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, However, the fate of the match is in the hands of the rain gods as there’s a 90% chance of rain on the match-day.

The match starts at 7 pm local time, which is 1.30 pm IST. A minimum of five overs per side need to be possible for a match to take place and there are no reserve days for the group stage, a facility available only for the semi-finals and the finals.

Australia’s Bureau of Meteorology’s forecast has left millions of fans worried as there are high chances of the match getting washed out.

“Cloudy. Very high (95 per cent) chance of showers, most likely in the afternoon and evening. Winds southerly 15 to 25 km/h turning southeasterly during the evening,” reads the agency’s website weather forecast for Sunday.

In fact, India’s last practice game against New Zealand which was supposed to be held in Brisbane on October 19 was completely washed out due to incessant rainfall in the city. Pakistan’s last practice match against Afghanistan was also stopped midway due to the rain.

Meanwhile, Twitter was abuzz with reactions to Arshdeep’s Instagram story. Here’s how fans reacted to the post:
