Pakistan's Shaheen Afridi on Sunday met India's Jasprit Bumrah after the match between the arch-rivals was called off due to rain and congratulated him on becoming a father.
In a video posted by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on their social media accounts, Afridi walked towards Bumrah and congratulated him.
The 23-year-old gave a gift to the Indian pacer who recently became a father of a baby boy and prayed for his newborn.
"Congratulations brother, may Allah keep your son always happy, and good wishes," Shaheen said as he shook hands with Bumrah.
While the Indian pacer kept saying "Thank you" to the Pakistani.

The video of this wholesome moment soon went viral on social media where people appreciated the heartwarming gesture of Afridi.
Shaheen also shared the video on his X, formerly known as Twitter, account and extended his prayers for the Indian's family.
"Love and peace. Congratulations @Jaspritbumrah93 and family on the birth of your child. Prayers for the entire family. We battle on the field. Off the field we are just your regular humans," Shaheen wrote on X.
It must be noted that Bumrah had to leave India's camp in Sri Lanka before their last group-stage match against Nepal due to the birth of his children.
After attending to his family duties, he returned to the camp and was in today's lineup to face the arch-rivals.
Pakistani and Indian players may be rivals during the matches but they share a positive relation overall.
