Shaheen Shah Afridi was on fire in Pakistan’s opening encounter against the Indian side in the 2021 T20 World Cup. The left-arm seamer scalped the wickets of Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, and Virat Kohli and dismantled the Indian top order.

Afridi first dismissed Rohit Sharma, who was caught plumb in front of the stumps for a duck. Next, he shattered KL Rahul’s stumps with a ripper of a delivery. And then, Afridi got the big fish, Virat Kohli. Kohli attempted a pull shot and edged the ball to Mohammad Rizwan behind the stumps.

And now, Afridi has mimicked the way all 3 Indian batsmen were dismissed by him. In the match between Pakistan and Namibia, Afridi was standing on the boundary line, and as the crowd chanted Rohit Sharma’s name, Afridi mocked the way the ‘Hitman’ was trapped in front of the stumps.

Later, when the crowd chanted the names of both KL Rahul and Virat Kohli, Afridi mocked the way the two batsmen were dismissed by him in the clash between India and Pakistan. You can see the video of the same below.
