Ace tennis player and the ‘bhabi’ of the nation, Sania Mirza, shared a video laden with her emotions from the cliffhanger T20 World Cup match between India and Pakistan yesterday, summing up the sentiments of cricket lovers from both sides.
The Indian wife of Pakistani cricketer, Shoaib Malik, shared a video of herself supporting her home country with her family, which she captioned, “Different stages of Match today”.

India and Pakistan played an edgy thriller match at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on Sunday, in which the men in blue managed to register the famous win thanks to tremendous innings by India’s ‘King’ Kohli.
Chasing 160, India was in a spot after losing four wickets before Virat Kohli and Hardik Pandya lifted the team out of trouble. The duo added 113 runs for the fifth wicket when India needed 16 off the final over. They nailed it in the last over and took the winning match right out of Pakistan’s hands.
Sania Mirza is a very popular sports figure in Asia. The 35-year-old former tennis player was the world’s doubles No. 1 and won six Grand Slam titles during her illustrious career. She may not be in action of late but notably left her mark in the sport before she married Malik.
They had a baby boy, Izhaan Mirza Malik, in October 2018, and Mirza is loved both in India and Pakistan.
To Pakistanis, she’s more than a tennis star; she is ‘one of us’ now after her marriage to Malik, and the power couple is the perfect example of the neighborly harmony between India and Pakistan.
