Pakistan’s ace speedster Shaheen Shah Afridi has performed Umrah in Makkah during rehabilitation time after suffering a knee injury.
The 22-year-old shared the picture on a microblogging platform from Islam’s holiest site. In the picture, the left-handed pacer can be seen donning Ihram while standing in front of the Holy Kaaba.
He wrote “Alhamdullilah”, an Arabic phrase to express gratitude to the Almighty, with the praying hands emoji as the click amassed thousand of reactions from his fans and social media users.

As Afridi only shared only one click from the pilgrimage, his fans filmed the star cricketer and shared his clips on social media.
