Awards and achievements:

  • Fastest and the second fastest Century in ODI.
  • Scoring second highest number of runs in an over in ODI (32).
  • Most number sixes in ODI.
  • Leading wicket taker in T20.
  • Longest six in the history of ODI against Australia.

Key Points:

  • His general style of batting is very hostile and attack oriented and has earned him the nickname "Boom Boom Afridi".
  • his aggressive style increases his risk of getting out and he is one of the most inconsistent batsmen in cricket
  • He infrequently sends down a bouncer to a batsman, which is very rare for a spin bowler.
  • He bowls at a high speed for a spinner, resulting in lesser turn, and relying more on variations in speed.
