Afridi becomes toast of nation
Karachi: Pakistan’s swashbuckling all-rounder Shahid Afridi became the toast of the troubled nation after his performance with both bat and ball lifted his team to World Twenty20 success on Sunday.
The 29-year-old rose to the occasion at the tournament’s key moments, with successive half-centuries in the semi-final and final and taking three crucial wickets—performances which earned him two man-of-the-match awards.
