But the most memorable for me will be a match that we won against India,” he told Ary News Channel.
“It is a great year for me and hopefully you will see a good one.
The show in 2022 too.” Afridi described the opening of India Kl goalkeeper Kl Rahul as the most valuable skin in the T20 World Cup.

“The ball didn’t swing as much as it was honest but I bowed at a good speed and Malik told me to throw it and let the ball do something,” he recalled.
“Even I didn’t expect the ball to do so much when passing the Kl Rahul defense.
It is a big goal For me.
