Afridi expressed his regret at not being present for Pakistan's historic 10-wicket victory over India in Dubai. "I achieved a lot, played a lot of cricket, and experienced a lot, but we hadn't beaten India in a World Cup before," he said. "That was an unfulfilled wish."
Afridi, who is now an ambassador for the 2024 T20 World Cup, believes that the match was a defining moment for Pakistan cricket. "That was one of the moments I felt I should have been there on that occasion," he said. "That is one opportunity I missed."
The 2021 T20 World Cup victory was a significant achievement for Pakistan, and it remains a cherished memory for fans. The team's dominant performance, led by Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan, showcased their potential and sent shockwaves through the cricketing world.
