Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) supporters have been struggling to come to terms after Prime Minister Imran Khan was removed from office. However, looks like Shahid Afridi is willing to step in as a substitute.<\/p>\n
In a recent interview about the political situation in Pakistan, the cricketer stated how Imran Khan has always been his leader. Adding how he now wants to try and be a leader like that.<\/p>\n
“Imran Khan is always my hero, I always wanted to be like him. Imran Khan is a vision of a leader. He talks about justice, corruption etc. a sportsman\u2019s comeback is always strong after realizing his mistakes and then correct it.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
