Nashra Sandhu was heavily trolled on social media by fans after the Pakistan spinner gave a death stare to Indian captain Harmanpreet Kaur during their ICC Women's World Cup 2025 clash at the R Premadasa Stadium on Sunday in Colombo. The incident took place on the final ball of the 22nd over of the Indian innings.
Sandhu bowled straight which Harmanpreet drove back to the bowler. Upon collecting the ball, Sandhu tried to scare Harmanpreet, acting aggressively as she would throw the ball to the striker's end. In the end she didn't but gave a death stare at the India captain.
Harmanpreet, who was batting at 16 from 21 balls at that time, didn't react and gave a uber cool reaction to Sandhu. However, Sandhu's act got herself being heavily trolled on social media as fans pointed out Pakistan's over attitude with zero talent.
