Pakistani cricket fan who sold his house to watch World Cup..!?


Just as a Sachin fan leaves the tricolor paint all over his body to watch an indian cricket match, there is also a cricket fan in Pakistan. He is now 73 years old. Pakistani fans fondly call him cricket Chacha which means cricket Uncle. He has seen more than 500 international cricket matches played by pakistan so far. Chaudhry Abdul Zaleem saw the first international cricket match in 1969. He was 19 years old at that time. After his love for cricket, he would go to the stadiums and cheer for the pakistan team wherever they went.
 The pakistan cricket Board has given special privileges to Abdul Jalil after seeing his continued progress. After this, the pakistan cricket Board did not provide any assistance to Abdul Jalil to watch the 1999 world cup cricket match. Abdul Jalil, who was not disheartened by this, sold his house and went to england to watch the world cup in 1999.
Abdul Jalil will be seen on the field in all pakistan matches with players wearing white beards, green clothes, and pakistan flag. Abdul Jalil, who has friendly relations with indian fans, has also requested that india should continue to play pakistan cricket matches. Many people like fans of Pakistani players have helped Abdul Jalil. Now, his answer to many people is cricket makes him food.
