#4 Shahid Afridi
When Shahid Afridi smashed the then fastest century in ODIs back in the year 1996, he made it evident to the world that limited-overs cricket was where he belonged. A couple of years later, he made it to the Pakistani Test team as well and did quite decently.
While Afridi was a regular face in the 50-over format, he played just 27 matches in a prolonged Test career which lasted close to 12 years. Despite not being consistent enough with the bat in one-day cricket, he made up for it by playing a key role in the bowling department.
So far, Shahid Afridi has scored over 8000 ODI runs and claimed as many as 395 wickets in the 398 matches he has played. He also has a tally of 1405 runs in 98 T20I matches and is the leading wicket-taker in the format with 97 wickets under his belt.
Although Afridi was dropped from the side for Pakistan’s recently concluded tour of England, he may just be brought back following their dismal performance.
