Pakistan pacer Shaheen Afridi has sent a open waring to Team India. The young Pakistan pacer rejected fans’ request for a selfie but promised that he will take a picture only after taking a five-wicket haul in IND vs PAK on Saturday, October 14, at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
The incident happened when a few members of the media reportedly asked Afridi for a selfie as he made his way off to the ground after training. However, the Pakistani pacer replied: “Zaroor selfie loonga, but five wicket lene ke baad [I’d be happy to take one, but only after I’ve claimed five wickets].”
Notably, Afridi has made a disappointing start to World Cup campaign, the left-armer has so far picked 2 wickets in 2 matches while conceding 103 runs combined. The 23-year-old conceded 66 runs and picked one wicket against Sri Lanka, while he ended with the figures of 1-37 in seven overs against the Netherlands.
However, Shaheen looks determined to make a comeback and wants to make a big impact against arch-rivals Team India. Notably, Shaheen enjoys a great record against Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul and would be aiming to continue to dominate against India’s top-order.
Pakistan’s Squad for World Cup 2023:
Babar Azam (c), Shadab Khan, Fakhar Zaman, Imam-ul-Haq, Abdullah Shafique, Mohammad Rizwan, Saud Shakeel, Iftikhar Ahmed, Salman Ali Agha, Mohammad Nawaz, Usama Mir, Haris Rauf, Hasan Ali, Shaheen Afridi, Mohammad Wasim.
