Pakistani women’s team captain, Bismah Maroof has won the internet by arriving at the stadium with her baby girl in her arms for the women’s cricket world cup 2022.
The Pakistani women’s cricket team had gone to New Zealand to play against India in the CWC 2022. Even though the team lost the match, captain Bismah Maroof’s entry into the stadium won many hearts on the internet.
We don’t see many sportswomen walking in the stadium with their children. Bismah’s photograph will surely go down in history. Her daughter is only a few months old who she gave birth, in August, last year. This was her stadium debut during the CWC 2022.
