In a heartfelt message, Shaniera praised Akram not only for his achievements on the cricket field but also for his role as a husband, father and family man.
“Happy 60th birthday to the Greatest of all time!” she wrote.
Describing Akram as “the greatest father, husband, friend, proud Pakistani, devoted family man, and of course also a pretty great cricketer,” Shaniera expressed her love and admiration, adding, “Love you now and always.”
The touching post quickly attracted thousands of reactions, with fans flooding the comments section with birthday wishes, prayers and tributes to one of cricket’s most celebrated figures.
The celebrations also drew attention from fans across the border. Shaniera acknowledged that many Indian supporters were unable to send their greetings directly because Wasim Akram’s social media account is currently inaccessible in India.
To ensure their messages were recognized, she shared a separate note thanking Indian fans for their love and support, saying their wishes had not gone unnoticed.
Widely regarded as one of the greatest fast bowlers in cricket history, Akram enjoyed an illustrious international career, taking 916 wickets across all formats and playing a key role in Pakistan’s 1992 Cricket World Cup triumph. Even decades after his retirement, he remains one of the sport’s most respected and influential figures.
