Ace Indian tennis player Sania Mirza is the nation’s pride and has brought a good name to the country in almost every tournament she has competed in. However, this time around, Indians weren’t pleased when the internationally acclaimed player went in to cheer for her husband Shoaib Malik, a Pakistani cricketer.

Mirza was recently spotted rooting for Malik in the ICC T20 World Cup semi-final wherein Pakistan knocked horns with Australia.

But surprisingly, cricket fans were offended on seeing Mirza, an Indian, supporting Malik, who plays for the neighbouring rival country Pakistan. They simply became ignorant of the fact that before any country, Mirza was cheering for her husband.
This is how they reacted:
Sania Mirza is clapping for enemy country Pakistan that kills our soldiers on a daily basis pic.twitter.com/6wpSrnThqB

We should stop supporting sania mirza when she plays for india in tennis. She have time to support the pakistan team but not have time to support the indian cricket team. #shameonsaniamirza #stopsupportingsania @MirzaSania

#PAKVSAUS @MirzaSania why she is still living in india. I never ever seen she supports to our indian team, @narendramodi pls cancels her's indian citizenship, she can't deserve to live here

This is the reason why she left playing for India after marrying a Pakistani..
So that she can cheer for pakistan full heartedly..
Cancel her indian citizenship & take away the awards from her…#SaniaMirza pic.twitter.com/USb3yWOuPm

If there was a competition for #NamakHaram than Sania Mirza would have been the undisputed winner#PAKvAUS pic.twitter.com/yfoEfAqJaT

The rivalry has made people so ignorant that they can understand something as basic as companionship. What are your opinions on this event?
