Shahid Afridi has been a favorite for many young cricketers for quite a long time. Ever since his epic 37-ball century in his 1st ODI innings in 1996, Afridi has been a fan favorite throughout the world.
For the first time in history, a cricketer from the Indian-Occupied Kashmir has come to Pakistan to learn cricket. Mir Murtaza, who hails from Anantnag, entered Pakistan through the Wahga Border and later traveled to Karachi to meet Shahid Afridi, Samaa News reported.

Shahid Afridi is an emerging star and he is doing wonders for Pakistan. I hope he will join PTI and our party will become invincible. The addition of another Great Pukhtoon at the leadership level of PTI will boost this party and no one will ever defeat this party.
