Shahid Afridi: Comments of social media users on Lala's announcement to quit PSL

 

Apparently one of the most popular and beloved cricketers of Pakistani cricket, Shahid Afridi's announcement to leave PSL 7 seems to be most regrettable to his fans who want to see him play in any case, no matter what the performance. Or not

Shahid Afridi informed his fans in his video message on Sunday that he was leaving PSL due to back pain. "This video is for my fans," he said in his message. I want to thank them for the way they have supported me throughout my career. My fans are just as important as my family. '

"I was trying to finish PSL on a good note, but my back injury is very old. I've been playing with that injury for fifteen, sixteen years. "

According to Shahid Afridi, "the injury has escalated to the point where it hurts my knees and toes a lot."

This time Shahid Afridi was representing Quetta Gladiators in Pakistan Super League. This is their fourth PSL team. He has previously played for Karachi Kings, Peshawar Zalmi and Multan Sultans.

After his announcement, a series of interesting comments about him started on social media.

Following the announcement of Shahid Afridi's departure from PSL, former Pakistan fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar, known as Rawalpindi Express, wrote to Shahid Afridi on his Twitter, "Rest (relax), Lala." This love is not easy at this age.

In response to Shoaib Akhtar's tweet, a fan of Shahid Afridi wrote, “At this age? Shahid Afridi has a medical problem, it has nothing to do with his age. And for an athlete, the importance of keeping away from the game is important, you understand it better, so choose your words better. Lala is always young and we have seen her performances last night.

Former Pakistan cricket batsman and Shahid Afridi's old teammate Saeed Anwar reacted to the announcement of his retirement by writing: "Shahid, we used to open together. Of course, the world of cricket will miss you. Good luck boom boom.

A user named Zoya posted pictures of Shahid Afridi and tweeted that "PSL will be uninteresting without you and you will always be remembered."

Another fan of Shahid Afridi, Mohammad Rafique, commented on his announcement: "Thank you for making our childhood memorable, the day he retired from international cricket and now that he has retired from PSL. These are the saddest days of my life. They have given us many unforgettable memories of the fight and competition with the Indians. Legend, get well soon. "

A user named Mahim Gilani, referring to Shahid Afridi's aggressive batting, tweeted: "Shahid Afridi retired from one-day international cricket in 2015, but seven years later he is still one of the most hitting sixes in ODIs. I am at the top.

It can be said with great confidence about Shahid Afridi that his fan following which was at the beginning of his career has not diminished even today and even today he is as popular among the fans as before.

However, there is no denying that his performances have now made a clear difference and with age his strokes and wicket-taking ability have diminished.

It may be recalled that this time Shahid Afridi could not participate in the first three matches of Quetta Gladiators due to cod.

His return came in the match against Islamabad United but he managed to score only four runs but the most important thing was that he gave 67 runs in his four overs which is the highest of any bowler in the history of PSL. Bowling is more expensive than.

Hesitant to retire

Shahid Afridi retired from Test cricket in 2010 when a spot-fixing scandal involving Salman Butt, Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Aamir came to light.

Afridi's one-day international cricket came to an end with the 2015 World Cup, but he captained Pakistan in the T20 World Cup in India a year later, but the team won only one of the four matches.

Asked about his retirement in Mohali, he said he could not decide.

Interestingly, when Shahid Afridi played his farewell T20 International against the West Indies at Lord's against the West Indies in 2017, he was presented a guard of honor by the players.

When commentator Nasir Hussain asked him about a possible return to cricket, Shahid Afridi replied in the negative.

"You see my condition after the injury," he said with his typical smile. Nasir Hussain could not stop his laughter on this occasion.
