“Ben Dunk is a special player and the aggressive style of batting that he showed to all during the tournament was really amazing,” Afridi told PakPassion. “His match-winning innings of 99 not out against Karachi Kings was absolutely wonderful to watch.
“Personally speaking, I really enjoyed bowling to Ben in the nets as it’s always a great challenge to bowl to such high-quality batsmen and it’s a good opportunity to learn. Of course, it wasn’t just Ben but the likes of Chris Lynn, Mohammad Hafeez and Fakhar Zaman that I had a lot of fun bowling to. Since I was in good form this PSL, it wasn’t all one-sided in the Qalandars’ nets!”
