After the Pakistan cricket team defeated Team India in their opening match in the ICC t20 World Cup, during the official interview conducted by Bazid Khan, an official commentator for the World Cup 2021 picked up by the International Cricket Council, controversy erupted after he said in Urdu, “kufr to toot gaya” (the infidel was destroyed) to which Babar Azam smiled and replied saying it happened by Allah’s grace.

For most Hindus, the word Kufr is not known because it is Arabic but in Urdu Kafir means infidel or non-believer and as per the tenant of Quran given by Allah to Abū al-Qāsim Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib ibn Hāshim, all Kufr must be put to death.

Muhammad of Ghazni came to India for this only purpose to loot and destroy the Somnath temple and break all the idols. 

In Pakistan Interior Minister Sheikh Rasheed Ahmed put out a video statement on his verified Twitter account and called Pakistans victory over India a victory for the entire Islamic world for the win (“saari aalam-e-Islam ko fateh mubarak”).

In the Video Rashid called Pakistan’s victory as good as winning the world cup after it defeated India and he also said we are conscious of “what’s happening to Muslims in India”.

A while back Rashid had called all Muslims to wage jihad and had said, that “not only our 22 crore Muslims but 30 crore Muslims on your [Indian] side too would rise against you [Modi] in the name of Islam”.
