Shaheen Afridi celebrated the wicket by doing a cradle celebration to honor his newborn child.

Though, he hasn’t been able to meet his son, but he made sure that he celebrated the birth of his child in his style. Afridi, who struggled to get going in the last two days with the ball, came up with a great effort on Day 4 of the ongoing Test against the Bangladesh National Cricket Team.

Shaheen Afridi picked his first wicket on Day 4 of the game as he dismissed Hasan Mahmud and brought his team back to the driver’s seat. He made the ball talk and also ensured that he ended the innings without having a wicket under his belt.

Shaheen Afridi bowled a full delivery at the stumps to which Hasan Mahmud attempted the big shot. Mahmud tried to slog through the line and got a thick outside edge caught by the wicket-keeper Mohammad Rizwan. The hard work paid off as he got his first wicket of the day. Hasan Mahmud couldn’t get a run under his belt as he bagged an 18-ball duck.

However, what caught the attention of many was the celebration of Shaheen Shah Afridi after he took the wicket. The fast bowler came up with a baby celebration for his newborn child, which the crowd loudly encouraged.
