7 top moments from Shahid Afridi's international career

#2 Asia Cup, March 2014

Afridi launched Ashwin for back to back sixes to win the game for Pakistan

The experienced Pathan endeared himself to Pakistan fans yet again with a tense chase against India in the 2014 Asia Cup. Pakistan needed nine off four balls in the final over, bowled by Ravichandran Ashwin.

Ashwin had been superb in the game, mixing his off-spinners and carrom balls. But Afridi had other ideas as he smacked him over cover for a six to bring the equation to three of three balls. Another six off long on followed as Afridi silenced the Indian fans and sent Pakistan to the finals of the tournament.

The all-rounder remained unbeaten on 34 as he kept aside his flamboyant style and resorted to intelligent batting towards the end. The manner in which he picked out Ashwin and his carrom balls stood out and proved to the difference in the end.
