"Some real talent right there," commented a third user. "They should send her to NZ to play in their current mens team tour matches. Probably she can win a match or two for them!" jokingly wrote another.
"They should bring her to pak team! She's the best," one user wrote. "Better than Rizwan and Babar both. She should be in Pak men's team," humorously said another.
"It is very difficult for her to become rohit sharma but she will definitely coach the pak women or men team because they are nothing to learn from rohit sharma I hope they will learn something her in future," one user commented.
