Shaheen Shah Afridi, Pakistan's left-arm pace spearhead, has emerged as a formidable force in international cricket, particularly in limited-overs formats. Known for his exceptional ability to swing the ball both ways and generate significant pace, Afridi has been instrumental in Pakistan's success in T20Is and ODIs.
Against arch-rivals India, Afridi has played two T20Is, with his best performance being a match-winning spell of 3/31 in the 2021 T20 World Cup clash in Dubai. Pakistan went on to win that match by 10 wickets.
Ahead of the highly anticipated clash between India and Pakistan on Sunday, a video has surfaced online showing Indian fans interacting with Afridi in New York. The fans expressed their excitement about the upcoming match and jokingly asked Afridi not to bowl well against India.
Afridi responded with composure and humor, acknowledging the fans' request and wishing for the best team to win. The video highlights the camaraderie and sportsmanship between the two nations despite their intense rivalry on the field.
India and Pakistan will face off at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York on Sunday. India began their campaign with an eight-wicket win against Ireland, while Pakistan suffered a shock defeat via the Super Over against the United States.
Afridi's performance in this match will be crucial for Pakistan's chances of victory. His ability to swing the ball and generate pace could prove decisive against India's formidable batting lineup.
