Shahid Afridi, the former captain of the Pakistan national cricket team, has revealed his admiration and gratitude for Imran Khan, the current Prime Minister of Pakistan and a legendary cricketer himself. In a candid interview with a popular TV show, Afridi shared his views on various topics related to cricket and politics.
One of the most interesting segments of the interview was when the host asked Afridi to choose which cricketer's innings he would like to watch repeatedly, given a hypothetical scenario where he had access to only three videos. The host gave him three options: Javed Miandad's famous last-ball six against India in 1986, Imran Khan's match-winning 72 not out against England in the 1992 World Cup final, and Afridi's own record-breaking 37-ball century against Sri Lanka in 1996.
Afridi, who is known for his explosive batting style and charismatic personality, surprised many viewers by choosing Imran Khan's innings over his own. He explained that he would watch Javed Miandad's innings once, as it was a historic moment for Pakistan cricket, but he would watch Imran Khan's innings twice, as it was a masterclass of leadership and determination. He also added that he owed his cricketing career to Imran Khan, who served as his role model and inspiration.
"If Imran Khan was not there, I would not be Shahid Afridi," Afridi said, expressing his deep respect for the man who led Pakistan to its first and only World Cup title. Afridi also praised Imran Khan's vision and efforts for the country as the Prime Minister, saying that he had full faith in him and his policies.
Afridi's interview has received a lot of positive feedback from fans and experts alike, who appreciated his honesty and humility. Many people also agreed with his choice of Imran Khan's innings, as it was one of the most memorable and influential performances in the history of cricket. Afridi himself has played many memorable innings for Pakistan, but he has always acknowledged the contribution of his seniors and mentors in shaping his career.
