5 most trolled cricketers in the world right now

#4 Shahid Afridi

Shahid Afridi is equally loved and hated by his followers

Shahid Afridi was once widely considered to be the most destructive batsman on the planet. His ODI century off 37 balls was the fastest in limited-overs cricket for a long time as many wondered if this record would ever be broken. But times have changed. The record has been bettered quite a few times now and Afridi is no longer the batsman that he was.

For a long time now, Afridi has been making his way into the Pakistani team as an all-rounder and comes into bat lower down the order. Even in T20s, the only format in which he plays now, Afridi even for all his experience is far from being a reliable batsman.

Afridi's irresponsible stroke-play without taking the condition of the game into consideration has often put his team in trouble. Though one of the most loved cricketers, fans have naturally vented their frustration with Afridi and repeatedly trolled him for not spending too much time out there in the middle.

#PakvsZim Pakistan is carefully and painstakingly building a platform for Afridi to come and fail.

Shahid Afridi should be forced to wear number 0 on his shirt for all remaining games, fitting tribute on his career for Pakistan #MostDucks

Very rude of Afridi to not even stay till Zimbabwe players can finish singing 'Happy birthday to you...' #PakvZim #CWC15
