Best Asian T20 International XI

#3 All-rounder

6. Shahid Afridi - 1,405 runs at 150.75 in 98 matches and 97 wickets at 6.61

The most dreaded smasher of the century and a wily leg-spinner with an equally effective googly, Shahid Afridi enjoyed T20 cricket with an expected dominance. A strike rate of 150.75 speaks volumes of the impact he had in the format lower down the order, while an economy of one barely above 6 describes the control Afridi maintained with the ball, despite the looming threat of early aggression from the batsmen.

Afridi was a part of the Pakistan team that lifted the 2009 T20 World Cup, a tournament where he took a career-best figure of 4/11 against Netherlands at Lord's.
