Sania Mirza is an ace tennis player. The sportswomen has made India proud every time she has held a racket in her hand. But fans were completely disappointed after they saw her cheering for neighboring country Pakistan in the semi-finals of the ICC T20 World Cup 2021.
Netizens could not digest the fact that Sania Mirza despite being an Indian was seen rooting for Pakistan. Another way to look at it is that she was fulfilling the duties of a supporting wife who was on her way to support her husband Shoaib Malik. Midway through the match, Sania Mirza began to trend on social media platform twitter. Some Indian fans could not digest the fact and started calling her a ‘Traitor’.
