T20 World Cup 2021: World Cup hero Yuvraj Singh said he stands by Mohammed Shami and Team India and urged Virat Kohli's men to continue fighting and overcome the early setback in the showpiece event.

World Cup-winning former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh threw his weight behind Mohammed Shami after the India pacer received online abuse after India's defeat to Pakistan in the T20 World Cup 2021 opener on Sunday in Dubai. Yuvraj said he will stand by Shami and Team India and urged Virat Kohli's men to continue fighting hard after the early setback in the World Cup. We all have tough days on the field but one bad day cannot define you as a sportsman! Proud of all that you have achieved for the country! I stand by @MdShami11 and team India Keep working hard boys and never give up no matter what! #Shami #TeamIndia

Shami was subjected to online abuse as trolls singled him out and targeted him for India's 10-wicket loss to Pakistan. Shami had an off day as he gave away 44 runs in 3.5 overs. India posted a par total of 151 in 20 overs but Pakistan gunned the total down without losing a wicket and with 13 balls to spare.
