Shahid Afridi is one of the best all-rounders in world cricket today. From being able to pick up fast wickets to scoring runs at unbelievable pace, Afridi is a champion at it all. He scored the fastest century in his very first innings in 1996. From then on, he has set or equaled many world records including twenty eight runs in a single over, and hitting four sixes in an over. He also has hit a record of 214 sixes in his career. Afridi is an instinctive cricketer. His bat does the majority of the talking, but he is equally damaging with the ball as well. The best part of his bowling is his ability to create variation. He spins the ball and uses a unique technique to trick the batsman into throwing his wicket away.

However, even though he has made steady contributions, he has not been able to cement his place in the side. But after some impressive performances against India in the recent past, he consolidated his place in the side. With strike rates of 86 and 108 in Tests and ODIs respectively, it is rather expected that he be a permanent in the side.
