Former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram delivered a rare animated moment on live television while commentating during India’s Asia Cup 2025 match against the UAE. The incident came when opener Shubman Gill struck an extraordinary six that left the legendary fast bowler completely astonished.
As Gill launched the shot high over the boundary, Akram threw up his hands in disbelief, calling it “unbelievable” and praising the young batter’s balance and timing. Viewers saw him laughing and shaking his head in admiration, an unusual sight for a cricketer known for his calm and composed commentary style.
The video of Akram’s spontaneous reaction quickly spread on social media, with fans from both India and Pakistan sharing the clip. Many called it proof of Gill’s growing stature in international cricket, while others said the moment captured the joy of the sport that transcends rivalries.
Gill has been in strong form, combining solid technique with fearless stroke play. His six against the UAE only added to his reputation as India’s next big batting star ahead of the knockout stages. Cricket followers noted that if a legend like Akram is left stunned, Gill’s talent is indeed extraordinary.
The India–UAE match, already drawing attention for team selection and preparations, gained an extra layer of buzz thanks to Akram’s enthusiastic response. It served as a reminder of how even the greatest players can still be wowed by the brilliance of the new generation.
