Pakistan Pacer Shaheen Afridi Enjoys with Indian Fans in New York After USA Defeat; Video Goes Viral
Pakistan pacer Shaheen Afridi enjoys with Indian fans in New York ahead of much-anticipated IND vs PAK clash in T20 World Cup 2024.
Pakistan fast bowler Shaheen Afridi encountered a group of enthusiastic Indian fans in New York City, following Pakistan’s narrow defeat against the USA in a super over thriller at Dallas.
The encounter, which took place after a disappointing outing for Pakistan, saw Indian fans requesting photos and videos of Shaheen Afridi. The Pakistan fast bowler himself seemed to be enjoying it.
Some fans were even playfully heard saying, “Please consider Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma as your fans!” This lighthearted interaction comes ahead of the highly anticipated India-Pakistan T20 World Cup clash on Sunday, June 9th.

Shaheen Afridi has a proven track record against India, particularly against their star opener Rohit Sharma. However, his recent performance against the USA has come under scrutiny.
The star pacer conceded 33 runs in his four overs without picking up a wicket. Fortunately, he was better with the bat, scoring a quickfire 23 runs off just 16 balls to help Pakistan reach a respectable total of 159.
The upcoming high-pressure match against India will be a crucial chance for him to bounce back and prove his mettle. Across all T20 World Cup 2024 matches against India, he has taken wickets at an average of less than 20 runs apiece.
