Shahid Afridi & Shane Warne during IPL

Shahid Afridi was part of the opening edition of the IPL. He played the event for the Hyderabad side and there is no doubt that the Hyderabad got a lot of boost
because of his presence. Afridi has this persona that he lifts a team with his presence in it.

Afridi here is seen bowling to the great Shane Warne. The Australian leg spinner was part of the Rajasthan team and in fact he led them in the first edition and won the cup as well. Afridi first ball was a faster one to Shane Warne.

Afridi bowled this one with good pace. The ball went straight in and Warne was beaten all ends up on this one. This was a great ball from Afridi. He totally nail Warne down on this one. Afridi was bowling really well in the event. He bowled well and took wickets as well.

Afridi after beating this ball went to Shane Warne and he spoke a few words to the batsman. Afridi took a dig at the batsman and Shane Warne did not like it at all. He replied back to Afridi and the two shared an odd moment. Then Afridi had to return to his bowling mark. Afridi and Warne then again were ready to face each other for the second ball. This was another good one from Afridi. He bowled another good one and this time Warne made sure that he defends it with the bat.

Shahid Afridi and Shane Warne both are seen here going against each other in an IPL game. It is really a shame that we don’t see Pakistani players in the IPL now. They were part of the opening edition only and after that they were no taken in in the next editions till now.

Shahid Afridi played his part for the Hyderabad Deccan. He was one of the most explosive players. Afridi played an important role in the Hyderabad side. He was in a great form with the bat and ball in the event. Afridi here went against Shane Warne.

The Rajasthan captain was new to the crease. Afridi was bowling with his tail up. He was getting spin and bounce and the very first ball from Afridi was a quicker one. Warne was not expecting a quicker ball from Afridi. He was beaten here.

Afridi went close to the batter and Shane Warne had to listen to a few words from the Pathan. But as we know Warne is an Australian and people from this part of the world don’t just sit quiet. Warner immediately went back at Afridi. The two shared a few good words with each other before Afridi went to bowl the next one. This was the Masala IPL needed to lick off.
