Chandigarh, September 10

On the playing field, Indian and Pakistani pace spearheads may be the fiercest of competitors, but off it they showed most beautiful of human emotions — of love and joy.

In a heartwarming gesture, star Pakistan pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi greeted ‘new dad’ Jasprit Bumrah, the Indian speedster, and handed him a gift for the little one.

The video of their off-field camaraderie, posted by Pakistan Cricket on social media platform ‘X’, is going viral with netizens all praise for Afridi’s gesture.

Bumrah had gone back home after India’s Asia Cup league match against Pakistan at Pallekele due to the birth of his son Angad.

He missed India’s league match against Nepal and rejoined the team for Super-4 clash against Pakistan. The rain-hit match was, however, moved to reserve day.
