Pakistan’s fast bowling sensation Shaheen Shah Afridi won the respect of many, when he opted not to celebrate after taking Shahid Afridi's wicket as a sign of respect to the cricket legend at Pakistan Super League (PSL) last night (Sunday).
The Lahore Qalandars teenager bowled out Karachi Kings Shahid Afridi in the 20th over of the game, before getting whacked for a maximum by Boom Boom, the youngster naturally wanted to celebrate the dismissal but toned down his emotions, seeing Afridi at the receiving end.
There is only one Shahid Afridi in the cricket arena. And this is the least you can do to honor the Man for his services to cricket, Pakistan and humanity. Duaaain @SAfridiOfficial bhai!#Respect #Legend https://t.co/re6nlQJuVM

Shaheen Shah Afridi was going to celebrate the wicket in style, but then he remembered it was Shahid Afridi so he just smiled as a matter of respect #PSL2018 #KKvLQ

The Qalandars versus Kings encounter turned out to be a cracker of a match, which was eventually won by Lahore in only the second super over game of the tournament.
