Former Pakistan limited-overs captain Shahid Afridi thanked the Indian team and their skipper Virat Kohli for the signed jersey that was presented as a gift following the all-rounder’s retirement from international cricket.
Earlier this year, Afridi announced that he will no longer play international cricket, bringing to an end a career that started way back in October 1996.
Afridi played in 27 Tests, 398 ODIs, and 98 T20Is for Pakistan which included a starring role in the team’s victorious World T20 campaign in 2009.
The 37-year-old received a limited-overs jersey of Kohli, signed by members of the Indian team, as a mark of appreciation of his wonderful career at the top level which lasted for two decades.
On Twitter, Afridi referred to the signed jersey as “a wonderful farewell gift”.
