It quickly caught people’s eye because it appeared just after Mandhana’s team won the Women’s Premier League (WPL), leading some to speculate whether it was a dig at Mandhana’s former fiancé, Palash Muchhal.
However, the post didn’t stay up for long. Within a short period, Mandhana’s mother removed the meme from her Instagram Story, leaving many wondering about the intention behind the share.

However, neither Smriti Mandhana nor her mother has publicly explained why the post was deleted or what it meant.
Since the post was removed quickly, many believe it might have been reshared in a moment of fun without any deeper meaning.
