Sania Mirza handles online trolls smartly during India-Pakistan match
The whole of India and Pakistan get united in excitement when their two countries’ get to play cricket against each other, but there is one person whom the prospect does not entirely excite – tennis ace Sania Mirza.
One-half of the record-breaking women's doubles duo ‘Santina’ (Sania Mirza and Martina Hingis), Sania is also married to Pakistani batsman Shoaib Malik, who has been taken on by Indians as a son-in-law.
As Shoaib Malik put on a brisk 26 runs off 16 balls towards the end of the Pakistani innings to take Pakistan to a fighting total, social media hoodlums turned their attention to Sania.
I pity Sania Mirza.

Her husband never lasts long enough to make an impact. #IndvsPak
Sania Mirza should make an SOS call to Shoaib Malik right now.

He's looking dangerous.

Such was the frequency of tweets about Sania and Shoaib:

However, Sania was a champ enough to show that she could not let the trolls destroy her enjoyment of the game itself, lauding Virat Kohli at the end.
