Pakistan cricket fans were treated to a delightful moment as Shoaib Malik, the seasoned all-rounder, engaged in a lighthearted conversation with former fast bowler Mohammad Amir and current T20I skipper Shaheen Shah Afridi. The trio, representing the ILT20 team, Desert Vipers, participated in a Q&A session, sparking laughter and camaraderie.
During the rapid-fire round, the pace duo faced a tough choice between the cover drives of two modern-day batting maestros: Virat Kohli and Babar Azam. While Amir swiftly picked Kohli, citing his admiration for the former Indian captain’s strokeplay, Shaheen surprisingly opted for his compatriot Babar’s cover drive.
Mohammad Amir’s comical reaction to Shaheen’s choice added an extra layer of humour to the exchange, considering the iconic status of both batters’ cover drives in the cricketing world.
