The Indian wizard spinner Ravichandran Ashwin made a big statement about Shaheen Afridi who is currently the best Pakistani Pacer and had the biggest hand in the victory of Pakistan against India when both the teams met in the T20 World Cup 2021 edition. Ravichandran Ashwin is currently inducted into the squad of Asia Cup 2022 and he will probably get a chance to play in blue Jersey at the stage of Super 4.
Shaheen Afridi wasn’t part of the Pakistan team when India and Pakistan competed in the Asia Cup 2022, he expressed his love for Indian players and he also showed a gesture of kindness for the struggling Virat Kohli. This showed that the approach of both the sides changed completely towards each other and now the spirit of the game can be seen to be promoted from both ends.
In between Ravichandran Ashwin made a big statement regarding Afridi that, “Shaheen Afridi might have fetched 14-15 crore if he had been there at the IPL auction”. This is one of the biggest opinions which Ashwin gave on any foreign player in the whole cricket fraternity. Before the game between Pakistan and India many Indian players like Yuzvendra Chahal, Rishabh pant and KL Rahul met the star Pakistani Pacer and exchanged warm gestures which delineate that the intensity between India and Pakistan is getting pale day by day which is a good thing to maintain the spirit of the game in cricket.
