Pakistani cricket's evergreen mascot Sufi Abdul Jalil, better known by his nickname 'Chacha Cricket' has come out himself to squash rumours of his death. In a video that has been circulating on the internet, Jalil has assured fans that he is in good health at present.
"Death is a reality, it will come and no one will save [me] from it," he says in the video. "Whoever posted my picture on Facebook and spread this fake news, may Allah give him hidayat (guidance) as well. I am alive and well."
Alhamdulillah chacha cricket is doing fine and he is in good health ❤ please stop spreading fake news .
