It was difficult to imagine a more fearsome batsman than Shahid Afridi when in full flow. The best thing about the way Afridi bats was that there was no change in his aggressive intent regardless of the format that he may be playing in.
Afridi started his career as a hard-hitting batsman, smashing the fastest hundred at the time (off just 37 balls) in his first ODI innings. His tendency to smash almost every ball for a boundary made him the most dangerous and entertaining batsman around.
Currently Afridi is leading the chart of most T20I wickets with 92 wickets from 92 matches. He also holds a record of taking most wickets (97) and most player-of-the match awards in Twenty20 International cricket.
