Cameras were constantly interrupted by distracting signs and pamphlets, adding to the lighthearted atmosphere. But the biggest talking point was the US team itself – captained by Indian-born Monank Patel and boasting 7 players of Indian origin and 2 with Pakistani roots.

The Green Card vs Aadhar card memes

Off the field, a hilarious meme war erupted, featuring Green Cards and H-1B visas—those ever-popular topics of debate between Indian and American communities. Fans playfully riffed on these immigration issues. A user chimed in, “This USA World Cup team has Indians, Pakistanis, Sri Lankans and even a Nepali. Never in my wildest imaginations did I think I’d see a USA team that represents Akhand Bharat.”

Another said, “Almost half of the USA Squad are Indians….Americans came to know that they have a Cricket team after the Indians-driven team beat Pakistan. All thanks to H1B XD.”

People even called out the ‘bhaichaara’ between the two for not being able to score.
