Shaheen’s efforts with the bat enabled Qalandars to tie the game, but they eventfully lost the match in the Super Over. Nonetheless, the southpaw managed to win the hearts of fans and experts. The biggest validation though came from Shahid Afridi. He took to Twitter and shared a picture of himself and Shaheen. In the post, one can see the uncanny resemblance between the two players.
