The cricket season is in full swing and the T20 World Cup is the talk of the town these days. The Pakistani cricket team is bagging a lot of praises worldwide for their phenomenal performances at the T20. Our famous cricketer Asif Ali has also been sailing the hype lately owing to his remarkable performance at T20 Worldcup 2021.
Asif Ali smashed four sixes in the penultimate over to help Pakistan achieve a hard-fought five-wicket win over the Afghan side.
The cricketer-turned into a hero for millions of Pakistani cricket fans who were previously trolling him on social media and questioning his selection for the T20 World Cup.
Netizens on social media have been sharing various memes on the internet, glorifying Asif Ali, revering him as “The Finisher” or a Money Heist guy (since he steals victories from the opposition).
He faced a lot of criticism when he was made a part of the T20 squad. But Ali has broken all the records and the stereotypes.
The Pakistani cricketer is from Faislabad and life hasn’t been easy for him as he faced a lot of hardships to achieve his status. He also lost his two-year-old daughter, Noor Fatima, to cancer in 2019. After this dreadful incident, his form slumped and he started to struggle with his career.
But our hero has come out stronger and showed the world who he truly is.
Lately, an old video of him has been circulating the web in which the cricketer is narrating his struggle story.
Have a look at the video!
The man of the match has also won a ‘Player of the Day‘ award for his match-winning performance during the Afghanistan match.
