Pakistan’s star fast bowler, Shaheen Shah Afridi, delighted fans by sharing the first photo of his newborn son, Ali Yar, on Instagram.

The touching moment, captured in a sweet post on Thursday, featured Shaheen cradling his baby boy in his arms, gazing affectionately at him.

While the full face of baby Ali Yar remains partially hidden, the glimpse of his side profile was enough to warm the hearts of Shaheen’s followers, who flooded the comments with well-wishes.

In the photo, Shaheen is dressed in a simple black-loured shirt, while his son sports an adorable floral shirt complemented by a white beanie.

The caption, “At peace ❤️” resonated with fans, amplifying the joy expressed throughout the comments section.

Shaheen and his wife, Ansha Afridi, welcomed their first child earlier in August. The couple tied the knot in February 2023, with their nikah taking place at a local mosque in Karachi, surrounded by close family members. They later celebrated their union with a wedding ceremony in September 2023, held at a local hall in Karachi, followed by a valima reception in Islamabad.
