Pakistan all-rounder created more confusion on his birthday on Monday regarding his age after he tweeted that he is 44 thanking the fans for wishes
Former Pakistan star all-rounder, who had created a controversy regarding his real age in 2019 when in his autobiography, 'Game Changer' he mentioned that he was born in 1975 and not in 1980, as per official records, has generated more buzz and confusion again, on his latest birthday on Monday, March 1, 2021.
Afridi, who should have turned either 41 or 46 on Monday, turned 44, according to him. Afridi, who holds the record for the youngest player in the history of ODI cricket at 16 years and 217 days, when he played a blistering knock of 102 runs off just 37 balls in 1996, might be in danger of losing the record that is in his name.
