Pakistan pacer Shaheen Afridi was at his brutal best as the men in greens thrashed arch-rivals India by 10 wickets in a ICC T20 World Cup group fixture on October 24.
With figures of 3/31 from his four overs, Shaheen Afridi laid the foundations for what would be Pakistan’s first ever win over India in a World Cup match. The left-arm pacer dismissed India’s opening duo Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul and India captain Virat Kohli later in India’s innings.
A couple of weeks have passed by since that one-sided affair but the memories are still fresh. In a viral that has gone video now, Shaheen Afridi can be seen enacting the dismissals of Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul and Virat Kohli.

The video has received mixed reactions from fans. While some were seen praising Shaheen Afridi for engaging with the crowd while other called the gesture as disrespectful.
