Former Pakistan skipper Shahid Afridi rolled back the years as he lit up the ongoing edition of Pakistan Super League (PSL) by smashing four consecutive sixes against Peshawar Zalmi on Thursday. 19-year-old seamer, Sameen Gul was at the receiving end of Afridi’s assault as the right-hander slammed four monstrous sixes. However, Afridi’s heroic efforts went in vain as Karachi Kings lost the match to Peshawar Zalmi.
Chasing a competitive target of 182, Kings lost four early wickets. Afridi’s counter-attack did give a semblance of hope for his side as he hammered Gul in the 13th over. But his stay at the crease was shortlived after being dismissed by Liam Dawson in the subsequent over.

“A cricketer can ask for nothing more. My fans still enjoy my performances and I love that and continue to play for them,” PTI quoted him saying.
