Pakistan pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi makes headlines with his return after a knee injury, however, he was trending on social sites for another reason as Pakistani vice-captain Shadab Khan’s cheeky tweet for speedster went viral.
Afridi on Wednesday bamboozled Afghanistan’s top order; Rahmanullah Gurbaz was dismissed for a golden duck and Hazratullah Zazai for 9. Shaheen’s delivery to dismiss Gurbaz was a toe-crushing yorker after which the latter visits a medical facility.
Shadab Khan, known for his witty tweets, teased Afridi and asked him to watch him with the same interest as he was looking at the cricket ball .”Kabhi mujhe bhi esay dekho jesay ball ko dekh rahe ho. Welcome back,” he wrote on the microblogging platform.

The 22-year-old reacted by sharing a picture of him watching Shadab in the way he urged. He wrote “Kuch keh rahe thay aap Shaddy?”
