Top 3 Shahid Afridi knocks against India in ODIs

#2 109 (94) at Toronto, 1998 Friendship Cup

Afridi is congratulated on the field after bringing up his second ODI century

During the 1990s, Pakistan largely had the wood over India in ODI cricket. Boasting of flamboyant batsmen as well as world-class bowlers, they were one of the most popular teams in that colourful decade.

Considering the prevailing tension on either side of the border, the 1998 affair between the two Asian giants was aptly named 'Friendship Series'. When the fourth ODI began at the Skating and Curling Club in Toronto, Pakistan were leading 2-1. Upon winning the toss, they lost the elegant Saeed Anwar early in the innings.

Displaying the exuberance of youth, Afridi started to hammer the Indian seamers to all parts of the ground. With spearhead Javagal Srinath looking rusty, the likes of Ajit Agarkar and Venkatesh Prasad wilted under the opener's onslaught.

Encompassing seven boundaries and six sixes, the belligerent right-hander's 94-ball 109 propelled Pakistan to a formidable total of 316. In reply, India were bowled out for just 182 as the spinners applied scoreboard pressure to their advantage.
