Shaheen Shah Afridi’s debut in The Hundred was nothing short of extraordinary, as he picked up two wickets in his first two deliveries after he was handed the new ball.
The Pakistan speedster was picked up in the second-highest price bracket in the 2023 draft. With another exceptional display, he reinforces his standing as one of the world’s most feared left-arm pacers in world cricket currently.
With just 40 balls to defend 95 runs due to rain, the left-arm bowled impeccable back-to-back inswingers that proved too much for Laurie Evans and Phil Salt, as they both succumbed to LBW dismissals without scoring a run.
Both dismissals were executed with sheer artistry and the official social media handle of The Hundred were quick to share the video, and it caught fire on social media in no time.
