Shahid Afridi is a legend of the game at Pakistan, who is known for his extraordinary all-round abilities, and particularly for being one of the greatest hitters of the ball during his time. He had the ability to create colossal power with his shots and hit the ball a fair distance. His colleague and previous Pakistan pace bowling legend Waqar Younis as of late shared a fascinating occurrence where Afridi unconsciously showed his solidarity on, in all honesty, a significant Indian priest.
In a board conversation on Pakistani channel A Games, Waqar Younis conceded that Shahid Afridi had tremendous strength right from when he made his presentation at only 15 years of age. He said that his handshakes were tight to the point that one could understand what strength Afridi possesed.

“At the point when Shahid Afridi previously showed up. He was just 15 or 16 and extremely amazing at that age. Whenever I first warmly greeted him, I nearly wound up perspiring, he pressed it so hard. That is most likely one reason why he could hit those tremendous sixes,” Waqar Younis said.

In any case, it was not simply Waqar Younis and the Pakistan colleagues that were on the recieving end of Shahid Afridi’s solid handshakes. The previous Pakistan quick bowler described an occurrence during one of their visits to India when a top Indian pastor felt the strength of his handshake.
“I actually recall that, We were on an India visit. I know the name of the Indian clergyman yet I won’t take his name. He came to see us and invited us. We were all sitting together. He came and we stood up. He met everybody, and welcomed us. Afridi was a lesser, he was remaining toward the back. We as a whole shook hands tenderly as he was an old priest. At the point when Afridi’s turn came, he shook the hands so hard,” added Waqar Younis.

Shahid Afridi played for Pakistan for a very long time somewhere in the range of 1996 and 2016, and wowed the world with his overall capacities particularly n white ball cricket. In ODIs Afridi has amassed 8054 runs and taken 395 ODI wickets making him only one of two players to score 8000 runs and take 300 wickets in the 50-over design.
