Shahid Afridi is a Pakistani cricketer who enthused himself to fans with his destructive, fierce batting style when he first burst on the international scene but increasingly became more useful for his national team with his crafty leg-spin bowling. He scored more than 11,000 runs for Pakistan across the 3 international formats and captured more than 500 wickets. Shahid was adjudged the ‘Player of the Series’ in the 2007 ICC World T20 where Pakistan finished as runners-up and the ‘Player of the Final’ in the 2009 ICC World T20 which Pakistan won. He also captained Pakistan to the semi-final stage of the 2011 ICC World Cup. After announcing his international retirement in 2017, he continued playing competitive cricket for franchise-based teams in T20 and T10 leagues around the world.
