Pakistani celebrities have expressed a desire to see Pakistan and India matches after legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan shared a clip of a young batter praising his extraordinary cricket skills.

The legendary actor was quick to appreciate the boy’s talent on Instagram and expressed his belief that the future of Indian cricket was in safe hands.

However, he didn’t realise that the boy, who he thinks is from India, is actually from Pakistan.

The video was originally shared on the social platform by a user named Raza Mahar, who shared the details of the boy saying that he hails from Sindh.

Moreover, Pakistani singer Goher Mumtaz and fellow musician Asim Azhar were the first ones to correct the Sholay actor and expressed a desire to see arch-rivals compete just like in the good old days.

“Sir, this kid is from Pakistan. Saw this a while ago through a Pakistani page with his ID, but [the] future of cricket is in our hands if we agree to play in each other’s country InshAllah. By the way, greatest fan of yours,” Mumtaz wrote.

Similarly, Azhar echoed Mumtaz’s sentiments and expressed his hope for a revival of the old days when cricket stars from India and Pakistan would play on each other’s soil.

“Dear sir, huge fan from Pakistan. And like my friend mentioned, this kid is from Pakistan but you are definitely right on the part where the future is in safe hands for both the sides if we bring back the old days soon where we get to see both stars play on both sides.”
