Pakistan’s young pacer Naseem Shah has come up with an exciting imitation while spending time at home due to the COVID-19 outbreak. The entire world has come to a standstill following the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic. The disease has caught a rapid pace in the last few days, and things seem to worsen gradually.

The cricketing world has also come to a stagnancy after the outbreak of the virus globally. Major cricketing events have either been postponed or suspended in the wake of the rapid spread of the virus. However, this has allowed cricketers to spend time with their families and share some joyous moments with their fans through social media.

Amid all this, Pakistan’s pace spearhead, Naseem Shah has been hilariously imitated Australia’s batting legend Steven Smith in a recent video. Smith is globally famous for batting peculiarly and has a hilarious stance while he is at the crease.

Naseem looked in complete control and at ease with his high backlift, way of leaving the balls outside off stump and his defence all reminding one of Smith.

Naseem Shah Has Had A Topsy-Turvy Ride So Far

Naseem had a forgetful start to his Test cricket career as Australia thrashed Pakistan by 3-0 in his debut Test series which was played at Australia. His age has been a controversial issue in the country as many believe that the 17-year old is a bit older than what he declares himself to be.

However, he made heads turn by claiming a five-for versus Sri Lanka in the home Test series. He became the youngest to achieve a five-wicket haul in Tests. To add to this, he also claimed a Test hat-trick versus Bangladesh earlier in the year, breaking a 17-year-old record by being the youngest to the feat (16 years and 359 days).
