Pakistan’s most prominent and hardworking female cricket analyst, Zainab Abbas is no stranger to immense criticism in an overall male dominated field. Whether it is for the way she dresses or the statements she makes, our very own ‘ghairat brigade’ always swoops in to “save the day” by blatantly criticizing Zainab for just doing her job!
However, that hasn’t stopped Zainab from doing brilliantly at her job, becoming a common face at all major cricket events in the country and becoming a great source of inspiration for little girls eager to venture out and make a mark in the sports industry.
However, it wasn’t long till the haters came swarming in and that was definitely what happened when Zainab posted her unbiased opinion regarding cricketers-the hate came from the fact that she applauded an Indian cricketer for his performance.

While most of the hate was largely due to the fact that she was watching IPL, the hate came from both sides of the border and was unbelievable!
Most just wanted this empowered and passionate professional to stick to her own league;
