"I achieved a lot, played a lot of cricket and experienced a lot but we hadn't beaten India in a World Cup before, that was an unfulfilled wish," Afridi said to ICC.
"The match in Dubai (2021 T20 World Cup) where Pakistan won against India, that was one of the moments I felt I should have been there on that occasion. That is one opportunity I missed," said the former Pakistan skipper to ICC.
