NEW DELHI: Shaheen Shah
Afridi
has been an absolute match-winner with the ball for
Pakistan
over the years.
The left-arm Pakistan pace spearhead is known for his ability to swing the ball both ways and generate significant pace and has been particularly effective in limited-overs formats. He has taken numerous wickets in both T20Is and ODIs, often providing crucial breakthroughs for his team.

Against India, Afridi has played 2 T20Is with a best of 3/31 that was a match-winning spell in the 2021 T20 World Cup clash between the archrivals at Dubai, that Pakistan went on to win by 10 wickets.
Now ahead of the marquee clash against India on Sunday, a video is going viral on the internet where some
Indian fans
are talking and clicking pictures with Afridi in New York.
One of the fans is saying, "We have come here to watch a special match, but we got a nice surprise." The Indian fans even asks Afridi with a laugh "not to bowl a good spell against India".
Not just that, another fans asks Afridi to consider
Rohit
(Sharma) and
Virat
(Kohli) as his fiends as the whole group bursts with laughter.
Afridi too demonstrates tremendous calm and composure and gives a smile taking the fun in his stride as another fan says, "may the best team win."
