Sahibzada Mohammad Shahid Khan Afridi (Urdu: شاہدآفریدی; Pashto: شاهد اپریدی; born 1980),[6] popularly as Shahid "Boom Boom" Afridi, is a former Pakistani cricketer and former captain of the Pakistan national cricket team.[7] As a successful All-rounder, Afridi was respected for his consistent bowling that relies on change of pace rather than spin, but drew greater attention for his aggressive batting style.[8][9] Afridi was the world record holder for the fastest ODI century in 37 deliveries and holds the distinction of having hit the most number of sixes in the history of ODI cricket.[10]
Afridi considers himself a better bowler than batsman, and has taken 48 Test wickets and over 350 in ODIs. Currently Afridi is leading the chart of most T20I wickets with 92 wickets from 92 matches.[11] He also holds a record of taking most wickets (97) and most player-of-the match awards in Twenty20 International cricket.[12]
Afridi was the President for PSL team Peshawar Zalmi which is owned by his cousin Javed Afridi.[13]
Afridi is a philanthropist and owner of the Shahid Afridi Foundation. In 2015, Afridi was named among the top 20 most charitable athletes in the world by Do Something.[14]
On 19 February 2017, Afrdi announced his retirement from international cricket.[15][16]
