New Delhi: Pakistan’s innings were at a standstill at 83/7, but Shaheen Shah Afridi rallied the team from there. As soon as he hit two clean sixes off Varun and Kuldeep, the match turned in Pakistan’s favour again.
Blasting performance in the last over
Shaheen hit four massive sixes off Hardik Pandya’s bowling in the last over of the match. At one point, it seemed that Pandya could not do anything. Especially, he bent down on his lower knee and rose a little on a good full-toss and sent the white ball across the stands.
Power and tradition – Shaheen like Shahid Afridi
Shaheen completed a flurry of four sixes today, just like his father-in-law, the great Shahid Afridi used to do. It was not just an innings, it was also a message – show craze and valour even in the midst of struggle.
