Legendary Pakistan fast bowler Wasim Akram praised fellow left-arm seamer Shaheen Shah Afridi for his performance against India in the T20 World Cup.
Afridi was named Man of the Match for his figures of 3-31 off four overs as Pakistan beat India by 10 wickets, which marked their first World Cup win over their arch-rivals.
During that match, Afridi dismissed openers Rohit Sharma and Lokesh Rahul before taking out India captain Virat Kohli.
