Mohammad Shami with wife Hasin Jahan

New Delhi : Indian pacer Mohammd Shami became the latest victim of the social media attacks after he posted a picture of him with his wife.



Shami is famous for shocking batsmen with his out-swing bowling, but people left no attack to swing his mind over the photograph in which his wife can be seen wearing a sleeveless dress.



Many of the comments demanded that Shami should ensure that his wife, Hasin Jahan, was not seen without wearing a hijab.



Shami had posted the photograph on December 23.



Former cricketer Mohammad Kaif was the first one who came in support and slammed everyone for making such comments.

The comments are really really Shameful.

Support Mohammed Shami fully.

A similar attack was seen on the tennis star Sania Mirza. In 2005, a cleric issued a fatwa (edict), ordering the then 18-year-old to stop wearing ‘indecent’ clothes and instead be covered from head-to-toe while playing.
