[Watch] Shaheen Afridi’s Hilarious Fielding Blunder Leaves Fans in Splits
Shaheen Afridi's awkward fielding blunder in Karachi turned into a hilarious moment.
Pakistan’s premier fast bowler, Shaheen Afridi, is known for his lethal wicket-taking abilities, but during the tri-series clash against South Africa at the National Stadium in Karachi, he had a moment to forget in the field. While he delivered an early breakthrough with the new ball, his awkward fall while attempting to stop a boundary left fans amused.
Shaheen Afridi’s Fumble Goes Viral
The incident took place in the 45th over of South Africa’s innings when Heinrich Klaasen played a lofted reverse-hit off Abrar Ahmed toward the boundary between short third man and backward point. Afridi sprinted toward the ball and looked well-placed to stop it, but a mistimed dive saw him tumble in an awkward fashion.
Even after his first failed attempt, Afridi tried to recover and stop the ball near the rope but misjudged it again, allowing four runs to South Africa. The moment quickly went viral, with fans mocking Pakistan’s reputation for sloppy fielding, as Shaheen’s miscalculated effort only added to the team’s history of fielding blunders.
