Star Pakistani cricketer Shaheen Shah Afridi, known for his fierce pace and match-winning spells, recently melted hearts on social media by sharing a heartwarming video of a cricket practice session — not with his teammates, but with his one-year-old son, Aliyar.

Shaheen, who is married to Ansha Afridi — the daughter of legendary cricketer Shahid Afridi — welcomed his baby boy last year. Since then, the proud father has occasionally shared glimpses of his family life with fans, including photos of little Aliyar and moments from their personal life.

In the latest video that has gone viral, the fast bowler is seen playfully practicing cricket with Aliyar. The toddler, adorably trying his hand at bowling, is seen interacting with his father in what fans are calling “a legacy in the making.” Viewers were quick to point out the significance of the moment, highlighting that the child is already getting a feel for the sport that made both his father and grandfather national heroes.

Aliyar has often accompanied his mother, Ansha, to stadiums to watch Shaheen play — and it seems the young Afridi is already showing signs of love for the game. The video has sparked a wave of affection and admiration from fans who are touched by the father-son bond and excited at the thought of a third generation Afridi potentially taking the cricketing stage in the future.

Shaheen continues to dominate the pitch with his performance, and now, off the field, he’s winning hearts with his role as a doting father. As fans flood the comments with well wishes, one thing is clear — the Afridi cricket legacy is in good hands.
