Summary Zainab has been the talking point on social media over the last few days.
(Web Desk) - Dunya News’ renowned sports anchor Zainab Abbas, has been the talking point on social media over the last few days after the anchor posted selfies with South African and Indian captains AB De Villiers and Virat Kohli. What was so special about these selfies was that soon after Zainab posted the pictures online, both the star players got out without scoring a single run.

Soon after Zainab’s act, Pakistani fans all over twitter demanded the anchor to post another selfie, this time with Sri Lankan captain, Angelo Matthews; a wish that was granted sooner than expected.

Newspapers in India have termed Zainab as a “wizard” claiming the anchor had the players under a “selfie spell” the entire time.
Zainab’s selfies became a top trend on twitter after Pakistan beat South Africa where De Villiers got a golden duck for the first time in his career. This was soon followed by Virat Kohli getting out on a duck himself against Sri Lanka; a rare sight in modern day cricket.
Pakistani fans were quick to acknowledge Zainab’s “talents” and starting pouring in requests via twitter.

Pakistani fans would be hoping that Zainab’s spell continues as Pakistan get ready to take on Sri Lanka with the aim of qualifying to the Semi Finals of this year’s edition of the ICC Champions Trophy.
