Sahibzada Mohammad Shahid Khan Afridi, popularly known as Shahid Afridi, is a Pakistani cricketer. Between 1996 and 2012, Afridi played 27 Tests, 334 One Day Internationals, and 46 Twenty20 International for the Pakistani national team.
He made his ODI debut on 2 October 1996 against Kenya and his Test debut on 22 October 1998 against Australia.
He is known for his aggressive batting style, and holds the record for the fastest ODI century which he made in his first international innings, as well as scoring 32 runs in a single over, the second highest scoring over ever in an ODI.
He also holds the distinction of having hit the most number of sixes in the history of ODI cricket.Afridi considers himself a better bowler than batsman, and has taken 48 Test wickets and over 300 in ODIs.
Currently Afridi is the leading wicket taker in the Twenty20 format taking 53 wickets from 43 matches.Shahid Afridi has signed to play for the Sydney Thunderin Australia’s Twenty20 Big Bash league.
In June 2009, Afridi took over the Twenty20 captaincy from Younus Khan, and was later appointed ODI captain for the 2010 Asia Cup. In his first match as ODI captain against Sri Lanka he scored a century however Pakistan still lost by 16 runs.
He then also took over the Test captaincy but resigned after one match in charge citing lack of form and ability to play Test cricket; at the same time he announced his retirement from Tests. He retained the captaincy in limited-overs form of the game and led the team in the 2011 World Cup. In May 2011, having led Pakistan in 34 ODIs Afridi was replaced as captain.
Later that month he announced his conditional retirement from international cricket in protest against his treatment by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB); in October he reversed his decision. UNICEF and Pakistani authorities have taken Shahid Afridi on board for its anti-polio campaign in the tribal belt of lawless Waziristan region.
Shahid Afridi burst on to the cricket scene in 1996. He was selected for his leg spin bowling but created history by scoring the fastest ODI hundred in his first innings. He was sent up the order to try to score quick runs and that he surely did by scoring a hundred in 37 balls. Such a remarkable feat by a 16 year old turned him in to a super star over night. He has continued to focus on scoring fast instead of focusing on preserving his wicket. His single minded focus on throwing the kitchen sink at every delivery makes for very interesting viewing as anything can happen. His all out quest for glory or bust has earned him legions of fans in Pakistan. However, he has had to pay for having the highest strike rate in ODI cricket in terms of being under severe scrutiny for having a low average. When his heroics fail he is usually dropped from the Pakistan team only to come back stronger and earn back his place. He has earned all his fame due to his dare devil batting but he has also distinguished himself as a handy legbreak bowler with a wicked quicker delivery that clocks up to 80 mph. His aggressive bowling and athletic fielding has helped him stay in the team at times when his batting has failed him.
