The viral video of a child crying over India's loss takes us back to childhood

India‘s shocking 180-run defeat against Pakistan in the final of the eight edition of ICC Champions Trophy has left the supporters dumbfounded. They are stupefied by the humiliating thrashing. Few outrageous supporters decided to take their anger out on the TV sets. Few thought that if they can’t do anything to the Indian team, they must burn the pictures of them.

But a little child has taken a different path. He has found the pain unbearable, hence crying is the only way of reducing it. Recently, a video of a child mourning over India’s loss has been breaking the internet. The video is bound to take you on a nostalgic trip to your childhood. Remember the days when we used to cry when our favorite team was thrashed?

In the video, a boy named Adi is watching the all important final. The video is recorded by his mother. The not-so-crazy-about-cricket Indian housewife and mother of Adi asks him the reason for his tears. The little boy answers “India has lost the game. 8 wickets have fallen down.” The unaware mother again asks “So what?” Ah, only if she knew the pain of the poor little chap.

The child says “Because we have lost. Why is Jaddu (Ravindra Jadeja) out? Throw him out of India.” He is clearly disgusted at the way Hardik Pandya got out as a result of a mix-up with Jadeja. His little brother tries to make him happy by saying “When Pandya will tell this to Virat Kohli, he will give Jadeja a tight slap and throw him out.”

The mother again asks “How many wickets remaining?” Ah, the poor kid, he replies “Only 2. That too, bowlers, Bumrah and Bhuvaneshwar. Have they ever scored half-century or century?” Gazing at the screen, he sadly says “His highest score is only 4 runs. Jadeja is the reason behind this loss.” Someone should have stopped the mother, but unfortunately, she again asks “India wouldn’t have won anyway.”

Again, the child becomes angry and replies “Why? Hardik was striking the ball well. The required run-rate was just 5 runs per over (Well, as a matter of fact, it wasn’t. But I don’t blame you, for at this tender age knowing what required rate is a big achievement indeed). Adi keeps on saying “Jadeja ran Pandya out, and now he himself is dismissed. He should die.

Caring mother has nothing to do with the horror show from Kohli & Co. She is just concerned about the health of her beloved. But the child is a clever one indeed, as he catches his mother recording his terrible state of mind. “You just keep on recording video,” says Adi. The mother, in a haste, stops the video while saying “Why will I record a video? Am I mad?” But whatever you say, dear mother, Adi has caught you. And someone please call Ravindra Jadeja.
