Shaheen Afridi faced widespread criticism after disappointing bowling performance in Pakistani Cup Super 4 Clash against India on Sunday 22 September. Former Captain Gujarat Priyank Panchal asked if Pacer lived up to the hype that surrounded him and quoted the lack of tempo, zipper and consistency.
Afridi admitted 40 runs in just 3.5 overs at a high -pressure meeting, a performance that caused sharp reactions on social media. “I always do not understand the hype around Shaheen Afridi. The classic case of several good vans years ago by extending one’s disappearing career. No zip, no pace, no discipline. I saw first -class pitchers that bring better spells with more consistency,” Panchal wrote (formerly Twitter).
The Super 4 match took place in Dubai, where the Afrids had previously worried the best Indian bats like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Kl Rahul during Pakistani famous victories in 2021. However, since then, Afridi’s career trajectory seems to immerse. His pace became the inconsistent and the swing that once caused him is noticeably absent.
The competition against India did not start in favor of Afrid. Abhishek Sharma linked the first first delivery of Afridi, Set the tone for dominant shifts. Sharma Knock 74 of the 39 balls, representing six and five six, anchored India’s persecution of a delicate total number and helped men in Blue to win six goals. His combination of aggression and timing had Pakistani pitch -ups to fight all the time.
The match was also presented by heated moments, and Afridi exchanged words with SHUBMAN GILL after admission of the borders. Pakistani players started most of the skirmishes, but Indian players reacted firmly and showed peace in the middle of tension.
Overall, the power of Afridi was a sharp contrast with the first Indian classes, who constantly caused under pressure. With his dear charm and lack of discipline on the display critics like Panchal claim that Afridi is no longer a dreaded Pacer that was once. Meanwhile, Indian dough led by Abhishek Shama ensured a comfortable victory in the match, which was both exciting and poorly tempered, which further emphasized the Persian Gulf in the form of teams.
