Enraged by the man’s foul language against himself, Shaheen then immediately hit back at the fan and even alerted the security staff about his inappropriate behavior.
Unfortunately, things didn’t just end there as after a while, the allegedly Afghan national targeted the Pak pacer once again with absurd remarks.
This time however the security staff had enough of him as he quickly walked to the stands, found the aggressor & escorted him out of the stadium right away.
