Afridi, speaking on the same channel after the final, seemed angry at the Indian crowd for not appreciating Head’s efforts. He said, ‘I think we all have experienced this at some point in our careers. Whenever we hit a four or scored a century or took a wicket, there was never any reaction from the (Indian) crowd. Yesterday, when Travis Head scored a century, there was silence in the audience. Why? A sports-loving nation always appreciates every athlete and their efforts, but it was surprising not to get the same from the Indian crowd, which is a so-called educated crowd. It was such a big century that at least some people could stand up and applaud. And the way the body language of the team kept falling, the same was happening in the crowd.
