Sania Mirza & Shoaib Malik Respond To Online Trolling On Their ‘2 AM Outing’ Before The Indo-Pak Match

Sunday’s World Cup match between arch-rivals India and Pakistan ended in a thumping 89-run victory for the Men in Blue. Sure enough, cricket fans from across the border were disappointed by their team’s defeat but they handled it with good humour and hilariously trolled them on Twitter. However, a few slammed the players for eating “burgers and pizzas” the night before the clash and their low fitness levels.

Some netizens claimed that they saw Shoaib Malik, Sania Mirza, Wahab Riaz and Imam-ul Haq at a restaurant in Manchester 7 hours before the match.

The videos quickly went viral and fans were outraged.

As a result, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) had to step in and issue a clarification. India Today quoted an official spokesperson saying,

“The videos and photographs that went viral [on social media] are from two days before the match. The day before the match against India, all the players were in their hotel rooms by curfew time.”

Shoaib Malik took to Twitter to reiterate the fact that the viral videos were from June 13.

But that wasn’t the end of it because Sania Mirza came under the scanner for allegedly taking son Izhaan to the said restaurant and her parenting style was questioned.

This is what the Tennis star had to say about the matter.

This tweet pointed out what was wrong with the entire situation perfectly.

This isn’t the first time trolls are getting personal. Earlier, R. Ashwin’s wife and daughters were attacked after the Mankad controversy.
