\n Islamabad
\n\u201cVery sweet,\u201d said the Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah as he expressed gratitude to Pakistan\u2019s Shaheen Shah Afridi after the latter congratulated and handed over a present to the former on becoming a father.
\nThe short video clip which has gone viral on social media shows the two fast bowlers warmly greeting each other with Shaheen congratulating and conveying his best wishes to the Indian fast bowler on becoming a father.

\n\u201cVery sweet\u201d \u2014 Bumrah can be heard reacting to Shaheen\u2019s gesture.
\nTaking to social media, Shaheen on his official X account \u2014 formerly known as Twitter, wrote: \u201c Love and peace. Congratulations @Jaspritbumrah93 and family on the birth of your child. Prayers for the entire family.\u201d
\n\u201cWe battle on the field. Off the field we are just your regular humans, he added.
\nResponding to Shaheen\u2019s social media post, Bumrah said that he and his family are \u201coverwhelmed\u201d by the love shown by the Pakistani pacer.
\nThe Indian right-arm fast bowler had announced the birth of a baby boy on September 4 earlier this month.
\nIt must be noted that Bumrah had to leave India\u2019s camp in Sri Lanka before their last group-stage match against Nepal due to the birth of his child.
\nAfter attending to his family duties, he returned to the camp and was in today\u2019s lineup to face the arch-rivals.
\nPakistani and Indian players may be rivals during the matches but they share a positive relation overall.
\nBefore Pakistan and India\u2019s group-stage encounter in Kandy, India\u2019s Virat Kohli met with the entire Pakistani team and they shared some beautiful moments.
\nNot only Kohli but Pakistan\u2019s Haris Rauf was also seen talking to India\u2019s Mohammad Siraj.
\nPakistani skipper Babar Azam and Imam-ul-Haq met Indian captain Rohit Sharma outside the nets.
\nIt is pertinent to mention that the high-voltage Pakistan-India Super 4 clash resumed today after hours of delay due to a wet outfield but thankfully no overs were lost.
\nThe match was suspended a day earlier and resumed today on the \u201creserve day\u201d from the point it was abandoned due to rain on Saturday.
\nIt had been raining intermittently since early morning and the sky was overcast with dark clouds, while strong winds continued to blow in Colombo.
\nAccording to the Sri Lankan weather department, there is a chance of heavy rain during the afternoon hours.
\nIt must be noted that Pakistan won the toss and decided to bowl first against India in the Asia Cup 2023 Super 4 match.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
