Lahore: Cricket fans on Wednesday sprang to their feet as soon as they woke up to images of a 'bald', 'ageing' Wasim Akram smiling at them.
"Me after 12 days in quarantine and I finally found my razor. happy now? #QuarantineLife," Akram tweeted with a picture of his which showed him as bald with tufts of white hair on the sides.
While it seemed to be a trick played by the former Pakistan captain, probably using a software, it shocked many who had grown up seeing the dashing left-arm seamer with flowing mane running up to the crease and delivering unplayable, magical deliveries in quick succession.
The master of reverse swing forced many to believe his new look, although on closer inspection it became clear through a line on his forehead that the image had been touched upon.
