Shahid Afridi, the legendary cricketer and former captain of the Pakistan national team, joyfully welcomed his first grandchild, a baby boy named Aliyaar Afridi. The newborn is the son of Afridi’s daughter, Ansha, and Pakistani fast bowler, Shaheen Shah Afridi.

Sana Afridi posted a heartwarming video of him holding his grandson. The video, which quickly went viral, shows Afridi, affectionately known as Lala, embracing the baby while two of his daughters eagerly look on, excited to meet their nephew.

Shaheen Shah Afridi, who married Ansha last year after getting engaged in 2021, became a father for the first time on Saturday. The cricketer also took to Instagram to share the first photo of his newborn son, along with a touching message expressing his happiness.

Afridi, now the youngest grandfather in the cricketing world, thanked everyone for their kind wishes. "Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for your lovely messages and for celebrating with us," he wrote in a social media post.
