Sania Mirza took to Twitter to share the following message: "Soo less than 24hrs to go for this match, safe to sign out of social media for a few days since the amount of nonsense that's gonna b said here can make a 'regular' person sick, let alone a pregnant one. Later guys! Knock yourselves out! BUT remember-ITS ONLY A CRICKET MATCH! Toodles!"
