A light-hearted exchange between Babar Azam and the young son of Shaheen Shah Afridi has captured widespread attention on social media following a Pakistan Super League (PSL) match, 24NewsHD TV reported on Monday.
The two cricketers had faced off in a competitive fixture, with Afridi’s family in the stadium to support him, including his young son, Alyar.
After the match, Babar was seen spending time with the child in a candid and playful moment that quickly resonated with fans.
In the viral clip, Alyar attempted to mimic his father’s bowling action, delivering a ball to Babar.
The Zalmi's captain responded humorously, theatrically declaring himself leg-before-wicket (LBW) out, drawing smiles from those around.
The clip has since circulated widely online, with social media users praising the interaction as a refreshing and heartwarming glimpse beyond the intensity of professional cricket.
