Shoaib Akhtar on Shaheen Afridi: In the T20 World Cup 2022, the Pakistan team was successful in reaching the finals, but the team could not win the title.

Now remembering that final, Shoaib Akhtar has targeted the team’s star fast bowler Shaheen Afridi.

In the final match, Shaheen Afridi was able to bowl only 2.1 overs due to his knee injury and then he went out of the field. Shoaib Akhtar has made this issue of Shaheen Afridi an issue. Akhtar said that at that time I used to fall, then get up, even if I die, I do not leave the field.

Would have definitely bowled the remaining 2 overs: Shoaib Akhtar

Talking about this, Akhtar said, “If I had been in Shaheen Afridi’s place in the T20 World Cup, I would never have kneeled down. The knee would have been fine later also, but that chance would never come again. I used to take injections at that time, take pain medicine but would definitely bowl the remaining 2 overs. I fall down, then get up. Would fall again, get up again, but would definitely bowl.

He further said, “People would say that you will be finished. Knee will break. you will die On this I would say that it is better to die at this time, but the World Cup should not go out of hand. At that time I would have become the national hero and biggest celebrity of Pakistan.
