Shaheen Shah Afridi with the car donated to him by Lahore Qalandars
Left-arm pacemaker Shaheen Shah Afridi has been the toast of Pakistani cricket for some time now. He became the first Pakistani cricketer to receive the ICC Cricketer of the Year honors in 2021 for his stellar performance across all formats of the game. Afridi was one of the stars of Pakistan’s famous victory over India at last year’s ICC T20 World Cup and was an integral part of the team that reached the semi-finals of the tournament.
Afridi is one of the greatest assets of a young and vibrant Pakistani team currently led by talisman batter Babar Azam.
Afridi is doing well for both the national and his Pakistani Super League franchise Lahore Qalandars. He even led the Lahore franchise to its first PSL title earlier this year.

Keep up the great work!!,” the franchise posted on Twitter along with a video montage of Afridi leading the team to the PSL title and then receiving his gift.
