Are Pakistani Women Cricketers Wearing Kohli's One8 Shoes in Asia Cup 2026? How Much Did They Pay

The Women’s Asia Cup 2026 has produced its share of talking points on and off the field, but one detail surrounding Pakistan’s campaign has caught fans’ attention for a rather unusual reason. Images from the tournament have sparked a conversation about the footwear being used by some of the Pakistani players, with eagle-eyed fans noticing a familiar sports brand.

Several Pakistan players were spotted wearing One8 cricket shoes, the sportswear brand associated with former India captain Virat Kohli, during their tournament campaign in Dubai.

Are Pakistan Women Cricketers Wearing One8 Shoes?

As shown in viral images, multiple Pakistan women cricketers wearing Virat Kohli shoes during the Women's Asia Cup, with photographs from their matches attracting widespread attention across social media. The footwear appeared to be from One8's cricket range, a brand linked to Virat Kohli, although there is no evidence that the players had any commercial association with Virat.

The bigger question has been the price. One8's official cricket footwear catalogue lists products across different price points, while the premium Cover Drive cricket spikes are priced at INR 13,999 in India. That figure has fuelled debate suggesting Pakistan players were competing in high-end Kohli-backed shoes, though it remains unclear exactly which specific model each player wore.

It would be inaccurate to claim they individually purchased a particular INR 13,999 pair. What can be established is that the shoes visibly carried One8 branding and matched designs from the brand's cricket collection. Interestingly, spinner Nashra Sandhu's standout performance added another layer to the viral moment. Wearing the same branded footwear seen in circulating photographs, Sandhu produced a match-winning spell against Hong Kong and finished with six wickets.

Pakistan Beat Hong Kong After India Setback, Seal Semi-Final Spot

Pakistan entered their final group-stage fixture under pressure after suffering a crushing defeat against one of the best women's cricket teams in the world, India, where they were bowled out for just 55, the lowest T20I total in their women's history. India completed a comfortable seven-wicket victory, leaving Pakistan needing a strong response to keep their Asia Cup campaign alive.
Pakistan defeated Hong Kong by 72 runs, producing a much-improved all-round performance to secure second place in Group A and book their place in the semi-finals. Nashra Sandhu starred with the ball after Pakistan posted a competitive total, helping dismiss Hong Kong and completing one of Pakistan's most important victories of the tournament.
The semi-final lineup is now confirmed, with India facing Bangladesh on September 10 and Pakistan taking on Sri Lanka on September 11 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. India and Pakistan are on opposite sides of the knockout draw, meaning another India-Pakistan contest is still possible but only if both teams win their respective semi-finals and reach the final scheduled for September 13.
