Cricket fans witnessed thrilling sports action and some heartwarming personal moments during Tuesday’s PSL clash between Lahore Qalandars and Karachi Kings at the National Bank Arena.
While Lahore’s comprehensive 65-run victory defending their 201/6 total by bowling out Karachi for 136 showcased exciting on-field competition, the off-field interactions were the actual moments that captured hearts across social media.
The spotlight turned to family bonds when photos emerged showing Lahore skipper Shaheen Afridi tenderly cradling his infant son Aliyar.
This gesture marked the first clear public glimpse of the child’s face. Previously, the fast bowler only shared blurred images.
