Former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi was understood for his harmful batting and overall capabilities throughout his playing days. He rupture onto the scene with a 37- ball 100 vs Sri Lanka in1996 Afridi was understood for his bowling abilities too, the leg-spin making him the Man of the Tournament in 2007 T20 World Cup. He has to his name 395 ODI wckets and 98 T20 I wickets to his name. Afridi, apart from his cricketing abilities, was and is likewise understood for his debates. He when damaged the ball, sledged Sachin Tendulkar on the pitch and has actually made questionable remarks on Indian state Kashmir.
Many fans still remember his 2005 pitch tampering episode which ultimately caused a restriction of 1 Test and 2 ODIs respectively. In a current television interview, Afridi confessed to the offense and stated that it was his colleague Shoaib Malik who had actually pressed him to devote the cricketing criminal offense. It was devoted throughout a Test vs England in Faisalabad.
” It was a great series. That Test remained in Faislabad. Think me, it was a Test and the ball was neither turning, nor it was getting any swing or joint. It was getting rather uninteresting. I was using my full blast and absolutely nothing was taking place. All of a sudden, a gas cylinder took off and eveyone got sidetracked. I informed Malik, ‘Mera dil chaah raha hai primary idhar spot bana du. Ball toh turn ho!’ (I wish to develop a spot on this pitch so severely. I desire the ball to turn!),” Afridi stated on Samaa television.
” Shoaib Malik responded, ‘Kar de. Koi nai dekh raha’ (Do it, nobody is enjoying). I did that! And after that, what occurred is history. When I recall at it, you do understand it was an error,” Afridi even more stated while having a chuckle at the event.
So far, Malik has actually made talk about the very same.
