Former Pakistan cricket team captain Wasim Akram also had the privilege of performing Hajj along with former national team captain Misbah-ul-Haq.
During the ritual of Rami at Jamarat while performing Hajj, a video of Wasim Akram throwing pebbles at the devil in his signature bowling style went viral on social media.
In the video, Wasim Akram can be seen throwing pebbles in a bowling action and then celebrating as if he had taken a wicket.
After the video surfaced, mixed reactions appeared on social media. Some users appreciated Wasim Akram’s unique style, while others said that making light of a sacred act of worship like Hajj should be avoided.
Former Pakistan cricket team captain Misbah-ul-Haq and national cricketer Sharjeel Khan also performed Hajj alongside Wasim Akram.
A few days earlier, pictures of Wasim Akram and Misbah-ul-Haq with former Pakistan opener Saeed Anwar had also gone viral on social media.
