Soon after Pakistan displaced India to become the top-ranked Test team in the world, the Pakistan fans made full use of their photoshop skills to make fun of Indian skipper Virat Kohli and his teammates.

Pakistan topped the Test rankings for the first time after wet ground at the Queen Park Oval, Port of Spain (where fourth Test Between India and West Indies was played) denied India the opportunity to defend the top spot which it had reclaimed from Australia on August 17. The result of the fourth and final Test meant India won the series against the Windies by 2-0, finishing on 110 points, one behind Pakistan and two ahead of third-ranked Australia.

Following the Sri Lanka-Australia series, India had needed to win the Port of Spain Test to retain the number-one Test ranking. India had entered the series on 112 points, 44 points ahead of eighth-ranked West Indies. And because the rankings are weighted to reflect this difference, India's failure to win by a better margin has resulted in them dropping two points and the West Indies earning two points.

Reacting to this result, Pakistani fans made a mockery of Kohli and co. by photoshopping them.

The Indian fans didn't hold back either.

As long as these kind of fun filled activities are taken in good taste and the line isn't crossed, the relation between the fans of the nations remains healthy, but once derogatory photoshopped images like the ones Bangladesh fans created, starts emerging, the whole scenario takes an ugly turn.
