(Web Desk) - Wasim Akram, former captain of the Pakistan cricket team, performed Hajj alongside former skipper Misbah-ul-Haq and other former players.
During the Hajj rituals, a video of Wasim Akram performing Rami at the Jamarat in a bowling-style action went viral on social media.
In the viral clip, Wasim Akram can be seen throwing pebbles at the symbolic devil in a manner resembling his famous bowling action before celebrating as if he had taken a wicket.
The video sparked mixed reactions online, with some social media users praising the former fast bowler’s light-hearted style, while others criticised the act, saying sacred rituals such as Hajj should not be treated humorously.
Former Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq and cricketer Sharjeel Khan also performed Hajj this year.
