New Delhi: He has played in several World Cups for Afghanistan (Afghanistan Cricket Team). He is an integral part of the Afghan team. That Rahmat Shah passed away at the age of 32! At least such whispers are heard on social media. We are talking about Rahmat Shah.

The speculation started, centered around a post by an Afghan cricketer, Karim Janay. Karim shared a post on his social media. Rehmat Shah is seen in the picture in Karim’s condolence post. After that many people started to think that Rehmat Shah died. His life stopped at the age of 32. A translation of Karim’s post reads, ‘It is with great sadness that I have received the news of the death of the Afghan national team cricketer Rehmat Shah. This sad incident has given me and all cricket lovers a lot of pain. As a cricketer myself, my condolences go out to Rahmat Shah and his family.’

Is it really so? Did Rahmat 32 really lose his life? The answer is no. Mercy is not dead. Karim’s post in Pashto is actually not for Rahmat, but for his mother. Actually not Rahmat, his mother is dead. Karim made this post to console Rahmat. So the news of Rahmat’s death is fake. The point is that Karim’s post has completely changed its meaning during translation.

The original meaning of the post was, ‘I have heard the news of the death of the respected mother of the talented player of the national cricket team, Rehmat Shah. This horrible incident has deeply saddened me and all cricket lovers. On my own behalf and as a cricketer, I express my deepest condolences and condolences to Rahmat Shah and his respected family. May Allah grant the deceased Jannah, fill his grave with light and give his family patience to bear this deep grief. Surely we belong to Allah and to Him we must return.’

After knowing this news finally the audience as well as cricket lovers got some relief. Supporters have also warned everyone not to spread misinformation on social media without understanding it.
