India crashed out of the ICC T20 World Cup 2016 following a 7-wicket defeat at the hands of the West Indies cricket team at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Thursday. Virat Kohli's heroics went to vain as the Caribbean side led by the sublime batting performance of Lendl Simmons chased down the Indian total of 192 in their allotted 20 overs.

Many reactions have surfaced on various social networking sites since the Indian team’s World T20 exit on Thursday including that of Mohammad Zubair's.

Mohammad Zubair is the Minister of State for Privatisation and the Chairman of the Privatisation Commission of Pakistan. He not only boasts of an MBA degree from the Institute of Business Administration (IBA) along with a doctorate in political economy from John Hopkins University but the seasoned politician has also served as the Commerce Minister of Pakistan from 1996 to 1997.

On 31 March 2016, immediately after India's World T20 exit, Mohammad Zubair tweeted something which was in line with the Bangladeshi wicket-keeper batsman, Mushfiqur Rahim's train of thoughts.

Here is what the former Pakistani Finance Minister had to say regarding the Men in Blue's semi-final defeat:

Previously, the 27-year-old Bangladeshi cricketer, Mushfiqur Rahim was condemned by Indian cricket fans on various social networking sites following his respective tweets and Facebook posts which in a way taunted the Indian cricket team after their exit from the coveted tournament.

The Bangladeshi later had to put down his tweets and Facebook posts, one of which featured a picture of himself in front of the television with the caption, “Happiness is this... Now I can sleep much better... Windies u beauty!!!”
