Mohammad Hafeez has remarked that Shahid Afridi was the reason Ravichandran Ashwin’s career was over.
When asked about Ravichandran Ashwin’s career, former cricketer Mohammad Hafeez displayed his lighter side on a cricket show.
Mohammad Hafeez explained why Ashwin hasn’t been playing consistently for India against Pakistan, claiming that Shahid Afridi wrecked his career. Mohammad Hafeez went on to say that Shahid Afridi’s match-winning sixes off Ravichandran Ashwin in the Asia Cup 2014 effectively ended the bowler’s T20I career.
Pakistan was given a target of 246 in 50 overs as fans witnessed a see-saw of a contest between the arch-rivals until Shahid Afridi pulled off an incredible heist. He smacked back-to-back sixes in Ashwin’s last over to crush millions of hearts across the border. Afridi’s 34 off just 18 balls helped Pakistan get over the line in a nervy clash at Mirpur.
While Mohammad Hafeez made a funny statement, many fans were unimpressed with his sense of humor, calling him out for giving an ‘immature’ statement.
