Shahid Afridi may have bid adieu to international cricket, but his recent stint during the second game of the Pakistan Super League between Quetta Gladiators and Karachi Kings seemed like he is still a young and energetic cricketer. Leaving the Dubai spectators enthralled with his extraordinary one-handed catch, Afridi stole many hearts, and left people wondering if he is ageing in reverse.
In the 13th over of Gladiators innings, Mohammad Irfan bowled a length delivery to Amin and the left-hand batsman smashed it away towards the long-on region. But Afridi, who was stationed at the position, stretched his right hand and grabbed the ball making it a phenomenal catch, even though the momentum of the ball was taking him over the ropes.
Ever since the video of the entire incident surfaced on the Internet, Twitter has been buzzing with compliments for the former Pakistan captain. Read some reactions here.
