Shahid Afridi’s ‘Death and Burial’ Video Goes Viral: Here's The Truth!
June 8, 2025: A misleading video circulating on social media falsely claimed that Pakistan cricket legend Shahid Afridi had died and was buried in Karachi, creating a wave of shock and condolences.
The AI-generated video, featuring a dubbed news anchor and scenes of an ambulance, has been debunked as fake. Shahid Afridi is alive and well, with no truth to the death rumors.
Afridi, known for his explosive batting and effective leg-spin, retired from international cricket in 2017 after an illustrious career tallying over 11,000 runs and 541 wickets across formats. He also holds the record for most sixes in ODI cricket.
The former cricketer has recently been in the spotlight for his outspoken views on Indo-Pak relations, criticizing India’s security measures in Kashmir and highlighting Pakistan’s growth and technological advancements. Despite the controversies, Afridi remains a beloved figure in cricket.
