The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) shared a heartwarming video capturing the essence of sportsmanship and camaraderie between two fierce competitors. In the video, Shaheen Shah Afridi extends his heartfelt congratulations to Jasprit Bumrah for the wonderful news.
In a world where cricket matches between India and Pakistan are often filled with intense competition and rivalry, this gesture stands out as a beautiful reminder that cricketers share a bond of mutual respect and friendship beyond the boundaries and rivalries.

In his message, Afridi congratulated Bumrah and conveyed his best wishes for the newborn. He said, “Bhai bohot bohot mubarak ho, yeh naye shehzade k liye.
