During the 2024 Paris Olympics badminton match between Malaysia's Aaron Chia and Soh Woo Yik and India's Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty, an interesting exchange occurred off the court.
An Indian fan tweeted what appeared to be an incantation to ward off the evil eye from their favorite players.
In response, a Malaysian fan jokingly decided to counteract this with her own method: reading Surah Yassin as a means of spiritual protection for her Malaysian heroes.
Though it was probably meant as a harmless tweet, it brought humor and excitement to badminton fans watching the game.
This playful interaction between fans added a memorable touch to the match, which ended with the Malaysian duo winning.
