WC 2015: Pakistan cricket fans use Aamir Khan’s PK to welcome Sarfraz Ahmed back home
Karachi: Bollywood fever has not only captured the minds of Indians but it is also gripping Pakistan cricket team fans in a way none would have expected as they used a dialogue from the popular movie, the Rajkumar Hirani directed film and Aamir Khan starrer 'PK' to greet their wicketkeeper-batsman Sarfraz Ahmed when he returned home in Karachi.

Sarfraz played a crucial role in revitalising Pakistan's World Cup campaign as he smacked 49 runs and took six catches in his team's 29-run win over South Africa, and remained unbeaten on 101 to guide his side to the quarterfinals following a seven wicket-win over Ireland.
The Misbah-ul-Haq-led team returned late Sunday night after crashing out of the quarter finals following a six-wicket defeat to co-hosts Australia in Adelaide.
According to the Dawn, Sarfraz was given a warm reception as some ecstatic fans shouted the slogan, "Sarfaraz dhoka nahin dega (Sarfraz will not betray us)" - a dialogue borrowed from wildly popular Indian film PK - that has come to symbolise the confidence his followers have in the cricketer's ability.
