Shahid Afridi tries to hug female umpire in LLC 2023, video goes viral on social media

In the opening game of the ongoing Legends League Cricket Masters 2023 Asia Lions defeated India Maharajas by nine runs. Asia Lions captain Shahid Afridi felt quite delightful after the victory and went on to hug former Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh.

Just after embracing Harbhajan Singh, Afridi went ahead and almost hugged the female umpire. However, the former Pakistan skipper quickly backed off and shook her hand instead. Netizens were left in splits after the hilarious incident and the video went viral across social media platforms.

It’s worth noting that Shahid Afridi has a knack of getting into controversies and has been criticised multiple times during his career. The former Pakistan skipper narrowly escaped a controversy by backing off from embracing the female umpire.
