While the images and videos of the Indian women's cricket team adoring Pakistan skipper Bismah Maroof's daughter Fatima garnered huge admiration on social media, former Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar also reacted to the "love without boundaries" kind of moments.
Taking to Twitter, the Indian cricket great called the scenes of Indian cricketers playing with baby Fatima "a lovely moment".
Tendulkar said that cricket is a sport that unites the players and breaks all such boundaries when they are off the field.
"What a lovely moment! Cricket has boundaries on the field, but it breaks them all off the field. Sport unites!" he wrote as a caption to one of the pictures of Bismah posing with Indian cricketers while carrying Fatima.
The video of Indian women cricketers playing with and showing love to Fatima had emerged on Sunday that attracted love and appreciation from both sides of the border.
Putting aside the intense rivalry, the India team has shown a gesture of peace as they showed love to baby Fatima and played with her.
They also posed for a picture with the mother-daughter duo after the conclusion of the Pakistan-India Women's World Cup 2022 opener at the Bay Oval.
"Little Fatima's first lesson in the spirit of cricket from India and Pakistan," tweeted the ICC.
