Bumrah took to his social media to express his overwhelming emotions and also wished Afridi the best.
Team India's pace spearhead, Jasprit Bumrah, expressed his gratitude towards his Pakistani counterpart, Shaheen Shah Afridi, for his thoughtful gesture towards Bumrah's newborn son. This heartwarming exchange took place after the washout in the Asia Cup 2023 Super 4 match at R.Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. Bumrah took to his social media to express his overwhelming emotions and also wished Afridi the best.
A video, shared by Pakistan Cricket's official account on X (formerly Twitter), captured the moment when Shaheen approached Bumrah with a large box. He kindly presented the gift to Bumrah, uttering the words:
"Bhai bohot bohot mubarak ho, yeh naye shehzade k liye. Allah usko hamesh khush rakhe aur naya Bumrah bane (many congratulations Bumrah bhai & to bhabhi, may Allah always keep your son happy & he becomes the new Bumrah)".
Later, the 23-year-old Pakistan cricketer took to X and wrote:
"Love and peace. Congratulations @Jaspritbumrah93 and family on the birth of your child. Prayers for the entire family. We battle on the field. Off the field we are just your regular humans."
"Beautiful gesture, my family and I are overwhelmed with the love! Best wishes always," Bumrah replied.
In terms of Shaheen's performance on the field, he seemed to be off his game on Sunday and struggled to take wickets with the new ball. Shubman Gill took full advantage of this, hitting three boundaries off Shaheen's bowling in the fifth over of the innings.
However, the left-arm seamer made a comeback and managed to dismiss Gill in his next spell, thanks to Shadab Khan's victory over Rohit Sharma. Shaheen's current figures stand at 5-0-37-1. India's opening pair had a strong start, putting on 121 runs for the first wicket. Unfortunately, rain interrupted the game when the score reached 147-2 in 24.1 overs. As a result, the match will continue on the reserve day, with India aiming to build a substantial total.
