Since 2024, according to Gul, Kaleem has been his best buddy. They had a special link, he said, and he could tell what was in Kaleem’s heart just by viewing him.

When the pandemic first started, Umar Gul disclosed that Kaleem lost his life in a car accident two days before Eid.

He went on to say that the only reason he used to travel to Karachi was to see Kaleem, and that he had chosen to give up cricket when Kaleem left. He did not even inform his wife of this decision until recently.
