Watch: Shahid Afridi's wife arranges 'lovely welcome' for husband

Former captain Shahid Afridi received a warm welcome from his wife, after he returned home from a successful stint at the Kashmir Premier League (KPL) 2021. 

The former Pakistan skipper led his side, the Rawalakot Hawks, to their sole KPL title a few days ago. 

Unknown to the cricketer, his wife had made arrangements for a lovely surprise for his return. In a video Shahid Afridi posted on Instagram, the cricketer can be seen celebrating his return home with his kids at the lawn outside his house, decorated with hundreds of rose petals.

Afridi can be seen standing beside his daughers, the youngest one in his arms, happy over the surprise his wife arranged for him. A table laden with decoration can also be seen in front of the cricketer. 

"Feels great to be back home. Thanks begum for the lovely welcome," he wrote.
