At one point, Younis briefly stumbled over the lyrics, prompting laughter from both himself and the audience — a moment that added to the warm, cheerful atmosphere captured in the video.
The former cricketers are currently in Houston for participation in an ongoing league tournament.
Younis Khan is widely regarded as one of Pakistan’s greatest-ever batters, known for his resilience, calm temperament and match-winning performances. He remains the country’s leading Test run-scorer, with over 10,000 runs and a reputation for excelling in pressure situations. As captain, he famously led Pakistan to victory in the 2009 ICC World T20, cementing his legacy as a leader who inspired unity and discipline. Beyond cricket, Younis is admired for his humility, mentorship, and deep respect for the sport — qualities that continue to make him one of Pakistan’s most respected cricketing figures.
