Zomato's dig at Pakistani app on India's loss to Pak is winning the Internet

The Round 2 of the ongoing Asia Cup 2022 saw Pakistan beat India by 5 wickets. While the spirits of Indian fans were dampened by the loss, prominent food delivery app Zomato found a way to spread cheer.

Ever since the match, Twitter has been flooded with memes and commentary from both sides of the border. Zomato’s sarcasm made it seem like a verbal duel between food delivery apps from India and Pakistan.

Careem Pakistan, a prominent food delivery app, took to its official Twitter handle to share a popular meme from the hit Bollywood film ‘Hera Pheri’. The Pakistan branch of the Dubai-based super app also tagged Zomato in its tweet.


The meme is from a famous scene from the film where Paresh Rawal is seen saying, “Yeh toh kisike rone ki awaz hai. (This sounds like someone crying.)”. Careem Pakistan captioned the meme with ‘Humney tou order k lye phone kia tha. (we called to place an order)”. The tweet was a jibe at Zomato over India’s loss.
However, Zomato responded by taking a dig at the Pakistan app by retweeting the tweet saying, “meme template toh apna use karo (at least use an original meme template).”

The nail-biting match on Sunday saw Pakistan defeat India, the team’s third victory over the Men In Blue in 11 T20I outings. The match triggered a barrage of reactions, with many appreciating both teams. Many users even hailed the Asia Cup as a blockbuster show that brought out the best of both teams.
