Assures worried fans that he was doing okay.

Updated 11 Jan, 2021

Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik on Sunday revealed that he was involved in a car accident in Lahore but thankfully unhurt.

The accident took place shortly after he left the Pakistan Super League Draft ceremony at PCB headquarters.

His sports car reportedly skid on the road and smashed into a truck parked outside the National High Performance Centre. His manager told Dawn he was unable to see it due to the fog.

As pictures of a damaged car started making rounds on social media, Malik took to Twitter to assure worried fans that he was unhurt and doing okay.

"I am perfectly all right everybody. It was just a happenstance accident and Almighty has been extremely Benevolent. Thank you to each one of you who've reached out. I am deeply grateful for all the love and care," he posted.

Many flocked to wish the cricketer well.

Does not look like the doing of a skid rather speeding!

@M. Emad "Shoaib Malik unhurt, but must be 'shaken'.." He says not. But lets leave that for his wife to find out. ;)

Driving under foggy and frosty conditions in and around the famous and historic Qaddafi Stadium, Ferozepur road, Lahore-Islamic Republic of Pakistan is quite challenging, to say the least.

Nothing about this was "happenstance". Excess throttle + road curve + rear-wheel Supra (single/twin turbo) = tail spin. Never underestimate the power you're sitting on.
