When Pakistan cricket legends Imran and Wasim clicked a 'selfie of epic proportions'

Pakistani cricket legends  Imran Khan and Wasim Akram go back a long way. Imran was Wasim’s captain when they took Pakistan to a memorable World Cup victory in 1992 and the fast bowler has always credited Imram with teaching him the nuances of the game.

Wasim Akram tweeted a selfie of the two players along with their better halves, Reham Khan and Shanirea Akram on Thursday night saying that he had a great time along with #PakZindabad.

The tweet was followed with some friendly banter between Mrs. Khan and Mrs. Akram with both calling each other ‘Bhabhi’ (Sister-in-law).

Imran Khan then posted the ‘selfie of epic proportions’ on his Facebook page as well, which Wasim promptly shared. The post read, “It’s so good to see two of our cricketing heroes retain that bond even after 23 years; something so special about the fact that Wasim Bhai still refers to Kaptaan as “skip”. Good to see the old comrades and their wives having some laughs together. A selfie of epic proportions indeed!”
