Both these Pakistani legends have a huge fanbase all over the globe, however, that doesn’t mean they do not have conflicts between them. The ex-Pakistan cricketers have shared the dressing-room with each other for the most part of their playing days. However, Shoaib Akhtar has his say on what he feels about his teammate.
In a video shared on Twitter by the Rawalpindi Express Shoaib Akhtar, he points out the problems he has with Afridi and asks “who is more famous?” to the fans.

“The only problem I have with Shahid is that he is better looking than. And then, another problem that I have is that he hits the ball further than I do. Basically, the problem is that he is more famous than I am,” said Akhtar as he could not control his laughter.
Shoaib Akhtar also said he has one more problem with him because the former Pakistan captain has more hair than him.
“Another problem, the biggest, I have with him is that he has more hair than I do. That’s what I told his brother in the flight the other day that he has more hair than me and he is far better-looking than I am,” the former speedster added.
Babar Azam deserved the player of the tournament award – Shoaib Akhtar
In the ICC T20 World Cup 2021, Shoaib Akhtar was seen in the stands during the final and had his say on the Man of the tournament trophy which was given to Australia’s David Warner. According to him, Pakistan captain Babar Rizwan deserved the award.
Was really looking forward to see @babarazam258 becoming Man of the Tournament. Unfair decision for sure.

“Always felt really well. Didn’t get much time in the middle in the two practice matches obviously. But for me it was about going back to basics. Going too hard, synthetic wickets and try to hit some balls. Definitely up there with 2015. Being part of the World Cup final against England a decade ago definitely hurt.
These guys are a great bunch of guys. Great support staff, great team, great support back home. Just wanted to put on a great spectacle for everyone. Bit of nerves around with a good score on the board. Just great to see the guys deliver,” Shoaib Akhtar concluded.
