Don’t ever call me ‘Sasur’: Shahid Afridi warns Shaheen Afridi

Srinagar: In a friendly banter, former Pakistan Shahid Afridi warned Pakistan premier pacer and his son in law Shaheen Afridi from calling him ‘Sasur’ (Father In Law).

In a Pakistan television show both star cricketers were guests and answered various questions. 

“I don’t want to hear this word from your mouth again,” Shahid told Shaheen during a chat on Samaa TV.

Explaining his reasons Shahid said Shaheen should not call him father-in-law as he has also won a cricket trophy recently. 

Afridi was referring about the Legends League Cricket where, his side, Asia Lions defeated India Maharajas by nine runs to win the trophy.

Afridi said Shaheen is like his son and he has surprised him with his maturity.

“I have always been a friend to my wife and daughter. Shaheen is like my son and friend. He is a very good boy and he has surprised me with his captaincy. It is so good to see the maturity in him at such a young age,” said Afridi.

Meanwhile Shaheen Afridi said that  it was special moment for him when he bowled against Shahid in the Pakistan Super League five years ago. 

“He is my role model. He has been the inspiration for me. I have enjoyed Lala’s batting, I used to switch off TV when he used to get out. He is my hero and like my friend,” said Shaheen.

“Never thought I would become a family member. When I played against him it was a dream come true feeling for me. I took his wicket,” said Shaheen.
