Twitter explodes as Shahid Afridi gets out for a duck yet again

In the first match against Kabul Zwanan, he got out for one and then went on to concede 55 runs in his quota of four overs. In the next two encounters against Nangarhar Leopards and Balkh Legends, the 37-year-old scored 20 runs and picked up only a solitary wicket. His campaign turned from bad to worse in the Panthers’ third match against Kandahar Knights in Sharjah.After the Panthers won the toss and elected to bat first, Afridi came to bat with his side reeling at 5/69 in the 10th over. Nevertheless, the veteran didn’t curb his natural instincts and went for a heave over the off-side in his fourth delivery off chinaman bowler Waqar Salamkheil, who dismissed Samiullah Shenwari in the third delivery of the same over.

Afridi went after the cherry with all his might, but couldn’t time it properly. As a result, the ball hung in the air for quite a while and opposition skipper Asghar Afghan took an impressive running-catch. Subsequently, the Panthers lost their sixth wicket inside the 10th over. In the meantime, Twitter bashed Afridi for bagging yet another duck in competitive cricket.

Twitter erupts as Shahid Afridi's side wins a nail-biting thriller

The Panthers didn’t get off to a great start as Mohammad Naveed got rid of Mohammad Shahzad in the very first over. Ihsanullah Janat and Cameron Delport perished in quick succession as well. Rahmanullah Gurbaz fell prey to Karim Sadiq. Waqar Salamkheil nipped out Samiullah Shenwari and Shahid Afridi in the 10th over to reduce the Panthers to 69/6 in 9.5 overs.

At the other end, Sikandar Raza put his head down and scored 51 runs from 42 deliveries with the help of five boundaries. He was dismissed by Naveed in the 18th over, but the knock was good enough to take Paktia to a respectable score of 127 in 18.2 overs. Isuru Udana contributed with a valuable 23 at a run-a-ball and supported Raza with a 54-run partnership.

Moreover, she remarked that bringing up the child won’t be a burden by any stretch of the imagination. She also wishes to make a comeback to tennis in the future and also hailed Serena Williams, who recently became a mother, as an inspiration to look up to.In the meantime, a number of users on the social media have shamed her during pregnancy and
the same didn’t go down well with the former World Number 1 doubles player. She took to Twitter and gave a couple of befitting replies to the people, who have tried to demean her.She wrote, “Word of advice for ppl(specially since the majority seem to be men) who think being pregnant means you have to go into hibernation for 9 months,sit at home and for some reason be ‘ashamed in this haalat’..So when women are pregnant they don’t have a disease or become untouchable-,”

Inzamam's 37-ball 60 helped Pakistan script a victory from a highly unlikely position

Rated as one of the greatest World Cup innings in history, Inzamam's match-winning knock of 60 against New Zealand in the semi-final of the 1992 World Cup turned out to be the turning point in his career and made the world take notice of the young talent.

Needing 123 to win off the final 15 overs, Pakistan were staring at defeat when Inzamam walked into the middle to join the legendary Javed Miandad. The Black Caps were playing in front of their home crowd at Auckland and it seemed that Pakistan had very little hope of a win.

Inzamam batted bravely with the tail to quash Bangladesh's quest for a famous win

When Bangladesh visited Pakistan in 2003 for a three-match Test series, they had lost 20 of their 21 Test matches till date and after losing the first two matches, it seemed obvious that they would lose the third and final Test as well.But the visitors had other ideas as a brilliant team effort put them nearly on the brink of a famous victory to add to their 1999 World Cup success over the same opponents.

Inzamam's 329 is the second-highest individual score in Pakistan Test history

Inzamam-ul-Haq's monumental 329 against New Zealand at Lahore in 2002 was the talented batsman's highest score in Test cricket and gave little chance for the visitors to recover in a contest which was over in just three days.The Black Caps had no answer to Inzamam's merciless batting display as he spent nearly ten hours at the crease, smashing as many as 38 boundaries and 9 sixes to help Pakistan post a mammoth total of 643 in the first innings.Inzamam deservedly won the Man-of-the-Match award and the knock of 329 is still Pakistan's second-highest individual score in Test cricket behind Hanif Mohammad's 337 against the West Indies in 1958.

Inzamam's knock helped Pakistan almost chase down the mammoth target of 349

India's tour of Pakistan in 2004 was not an ideal one for the hosts and for Inzamam in particular as the skipper because they lost both the ODI and Test legs of the tour to their arch-rivals.But as a player, Inzamam was pretty solid with the bat scoring two ODI centuries and another ton in the Test format. He started off on a brilliant note, nearly guiding Pakistan to victory after the tourists had posted a mammoth total of 349 in the 1st ODI at Karachi. Inzamam led from the front with a majestic knock of 122 that came off just 102 balls.Inzamam fell in the 43rd over and the hosts eventually went on to lose by a margin of just 5 runs and it would most certainly have been a different story had the skipper managed to stay on till the end.

1st Test - 148 vs England at Lord's

With the swing duo of Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis in their prime during the 1990s, Pakistan had a very successful time during their tours to England during that period, with some citing Pakistan as one of the greatest touring sides the country had seen.

During the summer of 1992 in England, in the five-Test series that saw Inzamam make his Test debut for Pakistan, the tourists scripted a famous 2-1 victory but it was a series to forget for Inzamam as he struggled in the seaming conditions, averaging just 13.2 in the first four Tests before being dropped for the decider.

Inzamam-ul-Haq is one of the greatest players in Pakistan's rich cricket history

Inzamam-ul-Haq may not have been the agilest of players to have stepped onto the cricket field, but what he lacked in fitness, he made up for it with his exquisite batting that oozed of class and subtle strokeplay that defied his stocky figure.

A genuine match-winner in both the Test and ODI format, Inzamam announced himself on the big stage with his heroics during the 1992 ODI World Cup and served Pakistan cricket with utmost dedication over a career that spanned over 15 years.
