Cricket, referred to as the “Gentleman’s Game,” is wildly popular in South Asian countries, particularly in Pakistan and India.
Two major events, the Asia Cup and the ODI World Cup, are slated to take place this year, which will cause the interest in the game to soar. As the cricket world prepared for a busy time, an old man was seen playing “imaginary cricket” in a video that quickly went popular on social media.

The video features an elderly man playing ‘imaginary cricket’, pretending to hit a shot to an imaginary bowler. His celebratory demeanor after joyfully hitting a six off a bouncer is a treat to watch.
A user named, Mehul Fanawala, loved the video expressing his love with a heart emoji in a post on X.
While one can’t tell where the video is from, one X user pointed out that he thought it was somewhere in Pakistan”, possibly due to the shalwar kameez he’s seen wearing as well as the roads and vehicles around.
Although various users shared the video across platforms, labelling it as the ultimate evidence of cricket’s emotional resonance, people couldn’t resist bursting into laughter as well. One user humourously commented, “Finally found the batsman my husband pretend bowls to randomly!” Another user chimed in, “I might have been the fielder at the wide fine leg boundary.”
