Xtra Time Web Desk: The camaraderie between India and Pakistan cricket players took a heartwarming turn as Shaheen Shah Afridi extended his congratulations to Jasprit Bumrah on the birth of his child. This touching gesture occurred following the unfortunate cancellation of the India vs. Pakistan Super 4 match due to rain.
In a video shared by the Pakistan Cricket Board on Twitter, Shaheen Shah Afridi can be seen warmly congratulating Jasprit Bumrah on the joyous news. Bumrah, the 29-year-old Indian pacer, responded with gratitude for the kind gesture.
Jasprit Bumrah had left the Indian cricket camp in Sri Lanka the previous Sunday to be with his wife, Sanjana Ganesan, in Mumbai for the birth of their child. This meant that he missed India’s game against Nepal, putting family first during this significant moment in his life.
The exchange between Shaheen Shah Afridi and Jasprit Bumrah showcases the bonds that can transcend the fierce cricketing rivalry between India and Pakistan, highlighting the sportsmanship and mutual respect that can exist among players from different nations. It is moments like these that remind us of the humanity behind the sport and the connections forged beyond the boundary lines.
