India TV News  

Pakistan's cricketing system is a very unique one and the people associated with it, be it in the past or the present always find a way to stay in the news and in the headlines. The legendary all-rounder has always spoken his mind and interestingly he doesn't mince words, but this time around he might have taken things too far by taking a dig at Babar Azam, Pakistan's skipper for all formats. The former Pakistan skipper feels that Babar hasn't done anything extraordinary till now and he is yet to establish himself as a genuine match-winner. Afridi agrees with the fact that Babar Azam is one of the best players in the world, but as far as his finishing abilities go, Shahid Afridi doesn't seem to be pretty impressed. Shahid Afridi while speaking to a local news channel said: The Pakistan skipper was awarded two major ICC awards in 2022.
