A touch of humanity in the heat of the competition is very important to witness in sports, especially during the high-voltage clashes between Pakistan and India.
Pakistan fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi and Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah exchanged friendly greetings to show sportsmanship in its real context.
In a video, shared by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on the social media platforms, Shaheen is seen felicitating Bumrah for becoming a dad and wishing him all the best in this regard. Not only this, Shaheen also presented a gift box to Bumrah.
Spreading joy 🙌
