FACT CHECK
When NewsMobile fact-checked the post, we found that the claim attached to the picture is FAKE as the women in the picture are not the wives of Pakistani cricketers.
On putting the picture through Reverse Image Search, we came across a Tweet by Shashi Tharoor in which he had posted the above picture. In the caption, he had written: “With the women of Indore’s Entrepreneurs’ Organisation after a three-hour interaction tonight.”
