For those of you who may not know, David Luiz is a professional Brazilian footballer who plays for Premier League Club, Chelsea as well as the Brazil national team. He’s pretty much a huge deal when it comes to football. And Imad Wasim, our very own superstar, is a Welsh-born Pakistani cricket player who will be heading to England with the rest of our men in green to play the Cricket World Cup this summer.
In a cute little Insta video, pro footballer David Luiz just wished Imad Wasim good luck for the Cricket World Cup.
Being a @TheRealPCB supporter I also requested my friend @DavidLuiz_4 to give a good luck message to my mate Pakistani all rounder @simadwasim for the @cricketworldcup this summer. 🇵🇰 #ImadWasim pic.twitter.com/o5M7lI87G7

SO, being so that the World Cup is just around the corner and the Champion’s League final is also coming up in June, it’s a major moment for football and cricket fans all over town. Luiz’s team will unfortunately not be playing in the actual final.
Anywho, Luiz’s wish to Wasim did not go unnoticed and Twitter users and Luiz/Wasim fans loved the message.
Its feel awesome to watched Luis 😍😍

Also, does this video mean they’re friends in real life? See you ‘soon?” SOON? WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
❤️❤️❤️

Some people thought that the message wasn’t exactly genuine
@rahimaso @HamzaKK He knows Imad as much as I do.

Which is honestly a fair observation.

Lol. Even if the video wasn’t super genuine or even if Luiz doesn’t really know anything about cricket, it was a nice gesture and a sweet way of sending some love our way and it was APPRECIATED.
Also, lol, not sure who facilitated this wish exactly but if it’s the guy who tweeted it out, we don’t really know much about him. According to his bio, he’s a philanthropist, father, family man and owner of a Cash and Carry in England. He also has an entire Instagram feed of him with famous athletes and other celebrities.

Apart from what people are saying, he can now add “makes dreams come true for young teenage football/cricket fans” on top of all of those impressive titles. Not bad Frank Khalid UK, not bad at all.
Have you guys seen the wish? Luiz fan? Wasim fan? Do you think Wasim was freaking out like the rest of us? Do you think he’ll RESPOND!? Let us know what you think in the comments below! Love you.
