He also holds a record of taking most wickets (97) and most player-of-the-match awards in Twenty20 International cricket.
Afridi was the President for PSL team Peshawar Zalmi which is owned by his cousin Javed Afridi.
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
