India vs Pakistan always creates a stir and a noise, regardless of which players are playing and what tournament it is. It’s an age-old rivalry and regardless of outcome, there’s sure to be a whole lot of entertainment. The same happened when Virat Kohli’s 51st ODI century led India to victory and Pakistan virtually knocked out of the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy.
After the match, a lot of experts and fans gave their opinions on the game and one of them was Faryal Waqar, who went viral across Indian and Pakistani social media because of her cuteness and innocence. She gave an honest opinion on the loss for Pakistan and said how she was genuinely heartbroken about the same. Now, millions of people want to know who she is!
Who is Pakistan fan Faryal Waqar?
A social media account posted a small clip of her post-match interview, saying that social media believes she looks like a mixture of Bollywood celebrities like Kriti Sanon, Deepika Padukone, and Priety Zinta. They described her as, “A Dubai-based professional in academia and student success, her sudden rise to fame highlights that cricket isn’t just about the game—it’s about the stories, emotions, and unforgettable moments it creates.”
Now there’s another confusion that’s cropping up on social media and the internet. When being Googled, a few results also indicate that there’s another Faryal Waqar Younis, who is married to Pakistani legendary fast bowler Waqar Younis since 2000. No, let us fact check and tell you that the only similarity and common thread between them is their name; nothing else!

Speaking about herself, the young fan mentioned that she’s from Dubai, working as a counsellor in a university there. She spoke about the match and how she felt the Pakistani team didn’t do anything right in the match. She further expressed that if this is the way they continue, they risk losing even to Bangladesh, which is their final group game of the 2025 Champions Trophy.
Meet Faryal Waqar, a Pakistani cricket fan who went viral after viewers debated whether she resembled Deepika Padukone, Preity Zinta or another Bollywood star.

See above for the full Faryal Waqar interview after the India vs Pakistan game, which has gone viral across social media channels across both countries. Considering Pakistan’s other matches are being played back home, we don’t think we’ll see Faryal at the stadium for their last league game against Bangladesh. But who knows, maybe the next time for a Dubai match!
India on the other hand have progressed to the semi final with two wins in their first two round robin games, and it’s left to see who they will take on in their semi final game. Currently, they look strong enough to go all the way in the tournament. For similar cricketing updates from around the world, remember to always stay tuned to ReadScoops.com.
