Twitter comes to Sana Mir's defence after she was trolled for sharing pictures with male cricketers

The former captain posed alongside Vivian Richards, Darren Sammy, Dominick Cork and Mike Haysman

Sana Mir, the former captain of Pakistan’s national women’s cricket team, posted a picture with cricketing legends and former captains Vivian Richards of West Indies, Dominick Cork of England, Darren Sammy, who will now head coach Peshawar Zalmi, and Mike Haysman from Australia.

While it should have been a moment of pride for the Pakistani cricket fans to see our athlete representing the nation and sharing the same stage as these big names in men’s cricket, unfortunately, all social media users could comment on was how she was the only woman in a pool of men.

On Thursday, Mir posted a picture with the above-mentioned players on her Twitter with the caption, “Happy times.”

Who knew the happy memory would bring her such unwarranted trolling. Luckily, some sane Twitterati came to her defence and spoke against the inappropriate comments she received. A user commented on how this is the reality of “living in a man’s world.”

in case anyone was wondering what it's like to be a pakistani woman in public/on social media... please see replies https://t.co/qyAz8eR6uk

Replies 🤦‍♀️
People have been consuming so much adult material that they can't process normal stuff now. Those jokes aren't funny. No one is interested to know how sick minded you are. https://t.co/PGeThgZW9M

I don’t understand why our people have shitty minds, see the replies. Utter embarrassment, it tells you that these women are a real life superhuman as they need to deal with such kind of shit each day. https://t.co/qRFgvzzCmE
