Pakistan women’s cricketer Nida Dar recently congratulated India for their ICC T20 World Cup 2024 victory after two months on September 4.
India defeated South Africa on 29 June in Barbados to clinch their second T20 World Cup title under the inspired leadership of Rohit Sharma.
Notably, Rohit and star batter Virat Kohli announced their retirement from the T20I format after the World Cup final.
Nida Dar posted a heartfelt tribute for Rohit and Virat while congratulating the team for their World Cup victory.
“Congrats to India on winning the T20 World Cup 2024! A special shoutout to Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli for their immense contributions to world cricket. Your leadership, skill, and dedication have inspired millions around the world. Happy retirement, legends,” Dar posted on her official X (formerly Twitter) account.

However, the former women’s captain deleted her post after fans criticised her heavily for congratulating India after more than two months.
A fan asked, ‘Bruh it’s been more than 2 months. You sleeping or what?’ meanwhile another fan wondered if she was using an outdated internet browser, ‘Internet Explorer se post Kiya tha kya madam?’
It’s worth noting that Nida Dar was relieved of her captaincy duties following the team’s defeat in the semi-finals of the Women’s Asia Cup 2024.
In her place, the talented young pace bowler Fatima Sana was appointed as the new captain to lead Pakistan in the upcoming ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024.
