Team India decided to take the knee ahead of the clash vs Pakistan at the World T20 in Dubai on Sunday night.  While the Indian team took the knee to show solidarity with the 'Black Lives Matter' movement, the Pakistan team kept their hands on the heart. 

The gesture has left fans on social media divided, while some hailed Virat Kohli and Team India's stance of showing solidarity, others questioned it and called the act hollow.
