Former Pakistan captain Sarfaraz Ahmed, who famously led Pakistan to their first-ever ICC Champions Trophy triumph in 2017, added a special touch to the ongoing trophy tour by attending a celebratory event at a private college in Karachi on Friday.
Greeted with a hero’s welcome, Sarfaraz was met by an enthusiastic crowd of students and faculty members who relished the opportunity to meet the cricketing icon. Addressing the attendees, the wicketkeeper-batter relived the euphoric moments of Pakistan's historic campaign.
“All our players will remember every single moment from that event. It was a historic achievement for us,” Sarfaraz shared as he stood beside the glimmering trophy, taking photos with eager fans.
The trophy tour’s visit to the college was a change from its original plan to be showcased at Karachi’s iconic Mohatta Palace, where a photoshoot had been scheduled but was relocated due to permission issues.
The Champions Trophy tour began in Karachi on November 20, captivating cricket enthusiasts across the city. The trophy’s first stop was the bustling Burns Road food street, where fans had a chance to enjoy the celebration in a vibrant atmosphere.
On its second day, the silverware was displayed at the Hanif Mohammad High-Performance Centre at the National Bank Cricket Arena. Later, it made a poignant visit to the Edhi Centre before heading to Seaview for a breathtaking photoshoot against the scenic coastline.
Karachi’s leg of the trophy tour will continue until November 25, offering fans more chances to witness the prestigious silverware up close. The nationwide journey of the ICC Champions Trophy began with a grand launch at Islamabad’s Pakistan Monument on November 17, marking the start of a celebration uniting cricket lovers across the country.
