India defeated Pakistan by 5 wickets in Asia cup, former Indian all-rounder Ajay Jadeja has criticized Pakistani T20 skipper Shahid Afridi.
According to local media reports, Shahid Afridi is a one-dimensional player and this is his strength that he never changed his style of playing. Whether the score is 400 for four down or 40 for four down. He will play his style.” Ajay said on the other hand, Indian captain Mahindera Singh Dhoni was famous for his six hitting ability but he was adaptable and took 40 singles in 40 balls depending on the situation of the match.
“It is wrong to criticize Shahid Afridi after 19 years of career. If someone thinks that he played wrong then he plays like this from the very beginning of his career. Selectors, cricket board and fans selected and accepted him as a captain and they all know his style of playing. So, why criticizing him now when he performed like he always does.”
Pakistan kept loosing wicket in almost every over, skipper Afridi was too run out on for 2 runs and returned to the dugout with low shoulders.
Jadeja said and if you did not understand him after 19 years then your eyes were opened too late. Shahid Afridi never changed his style of playing and people made him star because of the same reason.
Afterall Pakistani cricket fans and former players have reacted with disappointment and anger to the team's defeat against arch-rivals India in their Asia Cup Twenty20 match.
