With the ICC Men’s Champions Trophy just around the corner,
cricket fever is sweeping across the world, especially in India and Pakistan.
Recently, Atif Aslam took to Instagram to share a reel that every cricket lover
— including the writer — can relate to. The Pakistani musician’s reel begins
with him smashing what looks like a six straight over the bowler’s head,
followed by him doing a shadow replay of the shot several times, grinning from
ear to ear.
Anyone who has played cricket — whether in the gully or a
stadium with a hard ball or a tennis ball — knows there’s no better feeling
than middling the ball. We’ve all played a shot so perfect that we don’t just
think about it all day — we even replay it in our dreams. Sometimes, a shot is
so good that we remember it years after we’ve stopped playing.
If you relate to this feeling, you need to do two things:
Check out Atif Aslam’s reel and, more importantly, pick up a bat and hit a few
balls. Because let’s be honest — nothing beats that feeling. Men will be men,
always! So, drop the stress and go smash a few sixes!
