40-years-old Shahid Khan Afridi has once again proved ‘age is just a number’ as he smashed 50 runs off just 20 balls for Galle Gladiators in Lanka Premier League (LPL) on Friday.
The video of Afridi hitting boundaries and maximums reminded fans of his young playing days when he used to smash bowlers all around the park. Meanwhile, a lot of people still think he is young enough to continue playing cricket for years to come.
Age is just a numb For LALA ❤
A MAN with tag “Hit everywhere for a Six” is still Young ❤#shahidafridi10 #LPL2020 pic.twitter.com/LkijJNwQsT— سہیل علی❤❤ (@Sohail_Aleee) November 27, 2020
