WEB DESK: Former Pakistan captain and current mentor of the national U-19 cricket team, Sarfaraz Ahmed, sparked smiles across social media after sharing a light-hearted photo with Chief of Defence Forces Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir.

Fresh off a brilliant triumph in the U-19 Asia Cup final, the young champions were invited to meet Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir at the General Headquarters (GHQ), marking a proud moment for Pakistan cricket. The celebratory visit quickly turned into a viral moment, thanks to Sarfaraz’s trademark humor.

Taking to Instagram, Sarfaraz shared a photo of himself shaking hands with the Field Marshal. What truly caught fans’ attention, however, was the caption. Posing like a soldier reporting after a successful operation, Sarfaraz wrote, “Assalamu Alaikum Sir, Sir Sarfaraz Ahmed reporting mission accomplished.”

The playful caption instantly resonated with fans, spreading rapidly across social media platforms. Cricket lovers praised Sarfaraz not only for guiding the U-19 side to glory but also for keeping the mood light and cheerful after the big win.

The caption had all the more appeal for the Pakistani netizens because of the game being a Pakistan-India contest. With Field Marshal gaining victories in the battlefield and Sarfraz Ahmed gathering trophies in the sports frontlines, the Pakistani fans had multiple reasons to enjoy the coach’s post.

Known for his energetic personality and famous on-field one-liners, Sarfaraz once again proved that even off the pitch, he knows how to deliver a moment that sticks – this time with a handshake, a smile, and a perfectly timed “Mission Complete.”
