Shahid Afridi: I am more dangerous than Virat Kohli and Yuvraj Singh

Swashbuckling Pakistan all-rounder Shahid Afridi, who held the record of fastest century in One-Day International (ODI) cricket for 17 long years, said on Monday on a casual chat on his official Facebook page that he is more dangerous batsman than his Indian counterparts Virat Kohli and Yuvraj Singh. Afridi created ripples in the cricket fraternity when he smashed 37-ball 102 against Sri Lanka in Nairobi in 1997, and held the record for 17 long years. It was only in 2014, when New Zealand all-rounder Corey Anderson slammed a century in only 36 deliveries against the West Indies at Queenstown.

Afridi called upon his fans for a 30-minute chat on Facebook, and he was very frank and honest while typing out his replies. Afridi answered all questions that the fans posted online in that span of 30 minutes and replied on the queries such as his views on India-Pakistan cricket, future of some Pakistani cricketers and more.

When Afridi was asked about who he thinks is the most dangerous among the Indian dashers in Virat Kohli and Yuvraj Singh, the Pakistani cricketer gave a cheeky reply and said, “Me.”

Afridi retired from ODI cricket after a stellar career of 398 matches for Pakistan. He slammed six centuries and 39 half-centuries for Pakistan and remained one of the key player for the country throughout his career. Afridi scored 6,892 runs at an average of 23.57. He also bagged 395 runs in the 50-over format.
