Pakistan saw a huge tragedy happening as a passenger plane crashed in a residential area in Karachi, killing more than 100 people, including passengers and all crew members.

However, along with their deaths, rumors started to surface on social media, that one of the passengers on the ill-fated flight was Pakistani leg-spinner Yasir Shah and he too perished in the accident.

However, the leg-spinner is alive and doing well, and had to take to social media to refute rumors of him dying in the plane crash, which happened just a few kilometers away from the Jinnah International Airport in Karachi.
