Indian tennis player Sania Mirza on Tuesday opted to sign out of her social media accounts ahead of the highly-anticipated Asia Cup clash between India and Pakistan in Dubai.
The 31-year-old, who is currently expecting a child with her husband and Pakistan cricketer Shoaib Malik, had been a soft target during previous Indo-Pak matches. Hence, this time she decided to completely let go of social media.

Knock yourselves out!BUT remember-ITS ONLY A CRICKET MATCH! Toodles!”

Hope your confusion is cleared !!Waise aapka kab hai?? Since you seem very confused..”
