Some called the former Pakistan all-rounder “a true legend”.
Many users reacted with red heart emojis.
Afridi had earlier grabbed headlines for shaking hands with former India opener Gautam Gambhir in the Legends League Cricket. The photo of the two cricketers, who shared a bitter rivalry both on and off the field, went viral.
Coming back to the Legends League Cricket 2023 eliminator, Shahid Afridi’s Asia Lions managed to defeat Gautam Gambhir’s India Maharajas by 85 runs to reach the tournament final. The Asia Lions managed to post 191 runs on the scoreboard, thanks to opener Upul Tharanga’s half-century. The ex-Sri Lanka cricketer slammed 50 runs off 31 deliveries, before he was dismissed by Pragyan Ojha.
When it was time for India Maharajas to bat, the Gautam Gambhir-led brigade failed to get going. Barring skipper Gambhir, none of the batters went past the 20-run mark. Gambhir managed to score 32 runs off 17 deliveries but was dismissed by Mohammad Hafeez. Hafeez and fellow Pakistan bowlers Sohail Tanvir and Abdur Razzaq scalped 2 wickets each, while Afridi, Tillakaratne Dilshan and Isuru Udana got a wicket each. India Maharajas were all out at 106 runs.
In the final, Asia Lions will go up against the World Giants on Monday at the West End Park International Stadium.
