Video of Goa locality supporting Pakistan during 2022 T20 World Cup goes viral
Muslims in Goa support the Pakistan team because they are living in a Muslim area!
What would be the fact check of Zubair to this?
He was saying that he supports “Khan Sahab” not “Pakistan”!

“You’re rooting for New Zealand, right?” asked Davud. “Pakistan,” a middle-aged man who was seated on a chair immediately replied. When questioned about why he was backing India’s bitter adversary, he emphasised, “This is a Muslim area.” The remark surprised Davud, who is from Prague in the Czech Republic. It’s “interesting” that they are supporting Pakistan versus New Zealand in India’s bazaar in Goa, he continued.
The video has gone viral in no time.
The video was quickly widely circulated on social media. It was reposted by well-known Twitter user “Mr Sinha” with the caption “Snakes residing in our backyard.” On December 26, 2022, Davud Akhundzada first published the video on his own YouTube channel. The middle-aged man could be heard remarking, “This is all Muslim area, all Pakistanis” in the extended version of the video.”
“And you’re seated in the pub…. Good people, have fun,” the travel vlogger said. The YouTuber reminded them indirectly about their religion since it’s prohibited to consume alcohol in Islam. “This was quite surprising for me to observe,” Davud remarked in the caption of his video. Yet, the truth is that he wants to tell the entire tale without any changes.

The video was shot during ICC t-20 WC 2022.
According to the Pakistani cricket team’s match schedule, it is obvious that the video was first shot on November 9 of last year, during the first semi-final game of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup against New Zealand.
In September 2021, Davud Akhundzada quit his corporate job to devote all of his time to creating travel videos for the internet. On YouTube, he possesses a staggering 251K subscribers.
