During a recent interview, Shahid comically advised Shaheen to avoid calling him ‘sasur’ which translates to father-in-law in English. The former Pakistan skipper justified this by pointing out his recent cricket triumph, winning the Legends League Cricket trophy. Notably, Shahid led the Asia Lions to a convincing 7-wicket victory over the World Giants in the tournament’s final match.
“Sasur, tumhare muh se main dubara na sunu (I don’t want to hear this word from your mouth again),” Shahid told Shaheen during an interview on Samaa TV.
“So if he has won trophy (in PSL for Lahore Qalandars), I have also won the trophy in Qatar (Legends League Cricket),” the spin sensation added.

Shaheen expressed the significance of his experience of bowling against Shahid in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) five years ago. The left-arm pacer also disclosed the nature of his relationship with one of Pakistan’s biggest superstars.
“He is my role model. He has been the inspiration for me. I have enjoyed Lala’s batting, I used to switch off TV when he used to get out. Ye mere hero hai. He is like my friend,” said Shaheen.
It is worth mentioning that in March, Lahore Qalandars clinched their second successive Pakistan Super League (PSL) championship with a breathtaking last-ball victory over Multan Sultans, under the leadership of Shaheen. In the process, Shaheen also became the first captain to bag back-to-back PSL titles.
