Yes, overheating can happen due to:

Prolonged o r repeated cranking, especially in hot weather.

Poor ventilation in the engine bay during peak summer 45°C+ in Multan, Lahore.

Low battery voltage, forcing the starter to draw excess current.

🔥 This leads to burned windings, melted insulation, o r complete starter burnout.
