An amateur video featuring the chief military spokesperson playing cricket with the youth on a street of Karachi on Friday night has gone viral on social media.

Cricketers, showbiz celebs and politicians took to Twitter to share the clip and hail the “restoration of peace” and normalcy in the metropolis after tumultuous years.

In the video shot with a cellphone camera, Major General Asif Ghafoor, Director-General of the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), can be seen playing some smooth strokes coupled with good footwork on a street near Cantt Station.

One of the shots played by Gen Ghafoor caught the fielder – at silly point – by surprise. At the end of the clip, Maj Gen Ghafoor mingles with the young street cricketers who take selfies with him.

The video was uploaded in a tweet by former Pakistani skipper Shahid Afridi on Saturday.

“City of Lights back in colours. Karachi boys enjoying late night road cricket with @OfficalDGISPR Missed the opportunity being at Turkey. Thank you our brave security forces,” he wrote on the social networking site.
