Srinagar: The first T20I match between Pakistan and New Zealand got abondoned due to rain with less than one over bowled but still gave couple of moments to cherish for Shaheen Afridi and Babar Azam fans.
In the match amid rumours of a rift between Babar Azam and Shaheen Afridi, the Pakistan cricket team sought to dispel speculation by showcasing their camaraderie.
In a heartening display of unity, Babar Azam embraced Shaheen Afridi in a warm hug as the pacer earlier made his feelings apparent on being stripped off the Pakistan captaincy while Azam was reinstated to the white-ball leadership role.
The gesture spoke volumes about their mutual respect and shared commitment to the team’s success.
Another moment was Shaheen Afridi ratlling stumps of Robinson in another display of striking in first over of the match. Shaheen is known for taking first over wickets.
