While Sania Mirza would also go on to state that she will always support India, Shoaib Malik would reply by talking about the records he created against India. Recalling their banter during old times, Sania Mirza said, "For some reason, he loved to play against India. So, when we were dating, whenever we spoke about it, I always used to say, 'I'll support India no matter what. And then he used to say, 'My record against India I want to tell you is the best that I have.' He's been around for a long time and I think he has had an amazing career. I am really proud of him."
