Pakistan Women Cricketers Go Viral for Wearing Virat Kohli’s one8 Shoes During Women’s Asia Cup 2026

Pakistan Women cricketers have sparked a major social media buzz during the ongoing Women’s Asia Cup 2026 after several players were spotted wearing footwear from one8, a sportswear brand associated with Indian cricket star Virat Kohli.

Pakistan left-arm spinner Nashra Sandhu and batter Eymaan Fatima were among the players seen wearing one8 shoes during their Women's Asia Cup match against Hong Kong. Images and videos of the players quickly gained traction online, with cricket fans reacting to the sight of Pakistan players wearing a brand closely linked to one of India’s biggest cricket icons.

The viral moment came during an important match for Pakistan, who bounced back strongly after their earlier defeat against India in the tournament.

Nashra Sandhu was also one of Pakistan's biggest performers against Hong Kong. The left-arm spinner produced remarkable figures of 6 wickets for 7 runs in four overs, helping Pakistan bowl Hong Kong out for 71.

Pakistan had earlier posted 143 for eight before Sandhu's sensational bowling spell powered the team to a convincing 72-run victory. Her performance helped Pakistan secure a place in the Women's Asia Cup semi-finals.

The one8 brand has established itself in the sportswear market with products across footwear, apparel and sporting categories. The brand is closely associated with Virat Kohli and has become popular among athletes and sports enthusiasts.

Pakistan's campaign in the Women's Asia Cup has featured several talking points. The team suffered a disappointing defeat against India after being bowled out for 55 and losing the match by seven wickets. However, Pakistan responded with victories in their other group-stage matches to finish second in Group A and qualify for the semi-finals.

Pakistan will now face Sri Lanka in the semi-finals as they continue their push for the Women's Asia Cup title. While the team focuses on its upcoming knockout clash, the viral images of Pakistan cricketers wearing Virat Kohli-linked one8 shoes have emerged as an unexpected talking point from the tournament.
