Karachi Kings’ Umaid Asif learns cricket lesson from Ertugrul series
The craze of Turkish drama ‘Ertugrul’ series has swept through all over Pakistan and celebrities are no different. Many stars of entertainment and sports industries have showed their immense love for the drama for showing Islamic traditional values and history.
All-rounder Umaid Asif, who is currently associated with Pakistan Super League franchise Karachi Kings, has learnt a different lesson from the drama. In a tweet, he said he had finished watching all seasons of Dirilis: Ertugrul. He said despite all the religious and faithful lessons in the series he learned one more thing as a cricketer. He learnt that a captain should be like the lead character of the historical drama, Ertugrul, an opener should be like one of his closest soldiers, Turgut, and lower order batsman should be like his another closest soldier, Bamsi, while a coach should be like the famous scholar Ibn e Arabi, who plays the role of a mentor of Ertugrul.
“Finished all 5 seasons of #Ertuğrul. Despite of all the religious and faithful lessons in the series I learned one more thing as a cricketer. Captain #Ertugrul jaisa hona chahiye aur opener #Turgut jaisa aur lower order batsman #Bamsi jesa aur #Coach #IbnAlArabi jesa,” Umaid Asif tweeted.
