The 'Disappointed Muhammad Sarim Akhtar' meme, also known as 'Disappointed Cricket Fan' and 'Angry Pakistani Fan,' features Muhammad Sarim Akhtar, a Pakistani cricket enthusiast, visibly annoyed at a cricket match. In the image, Akhtar is shown standing with his arms akimbo (hands on his hips) and a look of disapproval or frustration on his face, dressed in a red and blue checkered shirt. The meme is widely used to express disappointment or frustration.
The meme stemmed from a cricket match between Australia and Pakistan during the cricket world cup on June 12th, 2019. The Pakistan cricket player, Asif Ali, missed a crucial catch during the game, leading the cameras to capture a shot of a distraught fan, Muhammad Sarim Akhtar, in the crowd with his hands on his hips, expressing his disappointment. The footage first emerged publicly when a Facebook user shared the video that same day.[1]
