Play

Freestyle football, which involves performing tricks with a football, is slowly making its mark in India. Huzaif Shah from Kashmir, perhaps the state’s first practitioner of the sport, is a trick shot artist with an impressive and growing repertoire.

From flicking the ball into a bin, though knocking a bottle off someone’s head (while reading a book) , to guiding the ball to a perfect landing on a scooter, Shah displays a range of tricks, peformed with ease, poise and precision.

After his initial struggles to get social media pages to post his videos, Shah finally managed to gather enough support from friends and family and brought his talent to Facebook. Here is one such Facebook page.

More of his talent is on display on Instagram.
