Earning a national team Test cap is one of the significant milestones in any cricketers career. Receiving the Test cap is a matter of immense pride, and any cricketer in the world would dream of wearing it regularly.

The fan was left speechless, and his bewildered reaction was caught on the camera. The heartwarming moment went viral on social media.

Social media users had mixed reactions to this gesture by Yasir Shah. Some appreciated the kind gesture, while others believed that “a Test cap should not be given out so cheaply.”
Simple things can mean so much !!! As a cricket fanatic I can feel that fans joy and the goodwill that was spread in those few moments. Given the bad publicity at beginning of the tour, moments like this will be broadcast and NZ public will connect with it. Well done Yasir ??

However, some were not happy with Yasir’s actions:
@dohagames just see this stupid man… I think pcb should take strict action against him as only test cricketers are allowed to wear this cap… these caps are not made to distribute like this… this is serious ….
