While the images and videos of the Indian women’s cricket team adoring Pakistan skipper Bismah Maroof’s daughter Fatima garnered huge admiration on social media, former Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar also reacted to the “love without boundaries” kind of moments.
Taking to Twitter, the Indian cricket great called the scenes of Indian cricketers playing with baby Fatima “a lovely moment”.
Tendulkar said that cricket is a sport that unites the players and breaks all such boundaries when they are off the field.
“What a lovely moment! Cricket has boundaries on the field, but it breaks them all off the field. Sport unites!” he wrote as a caption to one of the pictures of Bismah posing with Indian cricketers while carrying Fatima.
