The cricket fever has taken over social media as India and New Zealand took on each other in the ICC Champions Trophy at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Sunday, March 9.

The post quickly gained attention, getting over 4.89 lakh views and sparking a range of reactions. Many appreciated the manager’s kindness, calling him a true cricket fan. However, others speculated about his intentions. 

“Either he is in love or he has some extra work for her,” one user joked. In response, Nickitaa clarified, “No, he’s just a really nice person.”  

Another user cheekily questioned whether the manager extended such perks to male employees as well: “Does the manager provide similar perks to male employees?”

Meanwhile, a third remarked, “Clearly, the manager has roving eyes on you. If a guy asked for the same, he’d be working overtime next week.”  

Regardless of the debate, many users simply appreciated the manager’s love for cricket. “Wow, he is a true cricket fan,” one wrote.
