As India and New Zealand faced off in the ICC Champions Trophy on Sunday, March 9 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, cricket fever swept social media.
In the middle of all the excitement, a manager’s considerate deed of giving his staff a day off and a complimentary pizza in advance of the eagerly awaited confrontation is an event that has caught the attention of internet users.
The employee shared a screenshot of her conversation, captioning it, “Bhaii, my manager is the best.” The manager wrote: “Okay, chutti to le he lo. Uss din ka popcorn/pizza meri taraf se. (Send me the bill, max cap 1000).”

The post received over 4.89 lakh views and sparked a variety of reactions, demonstrating its rapid popularity. Many praised the manager’s generosity and referred to him as a true cricket lover. But others conjectured about his motivations.
As one user put it, “He’s either in love with her or has some extra work for her.” “No,” explained Nickitaa, “he’s just a really nice person.
Another user boldly asked, “Does the manager provide similar perks to male employees?” in an attempt to find out if the manager offered the same benefits to male employees as well.
At the same time, a third said, “Obviously, the manager is watching you.” He would be working extra hours the next week if a man made the same request.
Notwithstanding the controversy, a lot of individuals just liked the manager’s passion for cricket. “Whoa, he really loves cricket,” one person commented.
In the March 9 contest between India and New Zealand, the winner will take home USD 2.24 million (more than INR 19.5 crore), while the runners-up will take home USD 1.12 million (more than INR 9.75 crore).
