Shahid Afridi Ball Tampering: Cricket is called Gentleman’s game, but sometimes such things and actions of players come to the fore which embarrass the entire cricket world. A similar act was done by former Pakistan player Shahid Afridi about 10 years ago, who had put the entire cricket world to shame. Actually, Shahid Afridi chewed the ball with his teeth during a live match.
In 2010, Pakistan toured Australia, in which the team played a series of five ODIs. Shahid Afridi did this shameful act in the last match of this series. Pakistan had already lost 4 matches in the five ODI series. At the same time, in the fifth match, the captain of the team Shahid Afridi was afraid of defeat. In the last and fifth match of the series, Pakistan had given Australia a target of 213 runs.
In the same match played on January 31, 2010, Shahid Afridi chewed the ball with his teeth in a live match. Afridi felt that he would be saved after this act or that no one would be able to see him, but this did not happen. Afridi had pressed the ball with his teeth not once but several times. After seeing his action, the TV umpire informed the field umpire about this.
Afridi was banned for two T20 matches due to this act. At the same time, the Pakistan team also lost the last ODI match. In this way, Pakistan had to face a 5-0 defeat in the ODI series. Its Pakistan had also lost the only T20 match.
Please tell that at that time Shahid Afridi was commanding the team in the absence of Mohammad Yusuf and the fifth match of the ODI series was being played in Perth. It is noteworthy that when Shahid Afridi chewed the ball with his teeth, the camera’s focus was only on him.
