Mujeeb Ur Rahman shared a heartwarming moment with a young boy after Afghanistan’s historic win over England at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Sunday (October 15). The Hashmatullah Shahidi-led side stunned the reigning world champions by 69 runs to register arguably the biggest win in their history.
And soon after the game came to an end, a brilliant moment was witnessed. As the Afghanistan players were walking towards the dressing room, a young boy walked towards them before hugging Mujeeb Ur Rahman. He was also seen crying as he struggled to contain his emotions after Afghanistan’s brilliant win.
And many believed that the young boy was an Afghani. However, Mujeeb Ur Rahman has revealed that the boy was not an Afghani but an Indian. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), the star spinner, on Tuesday (October 17), expressed his delight over meeting the boy before thanking the Delhi fans for their support, writing:
