Indian cricketers Harmanpreet Kaur, Ekta Bisht and Smriti Mandhana among others also took a picture with the little one. "What a lovely moment! Cricket has boundaries on the field, but it breaks them all off the field. Sport Unites," legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar tweeted, while sharing team India's picture with Maroof and Fatima.

Reportedly, Maroof came to the stadium ahead of the match with her daughter. The picture of her entering the venue with her daughter has also gone viral.

Maroof gave birth to her daughter Fatima in August last year and shortly returned to international cricket as per the maternal policy of the Pakistan Cricket Board, which provides 12 months paid leave and a guaranteed extension of the contract. Ahead of the match, Maroof talked about her journey back to the sport after giving birth.

She said, "The journey from childbirth to getting her had its fair share of difficulties, as I had to start from scratch to regain my fitness. Women don't often return to sports or continue their professional careers after getting married or childbirth." But she said that she had been spending time doing strength and conditioning sessions.
