Former Pakistan cricket captain Shahid Afridi, currently in England representing Pakistan Champions at the World Championship of Legends (WCL) 2024, found himself in a humorous predicament during a light-hearted guessing game with Indian presenter Shefali Bagga.
A fun chat
Amidst the competitive spirit of WCLP 2024, Afridi engaged in a playful guessing game with Shefali, who presented images of various cricketers, predominantly Indian, for Afridi to identify. While Afridi successfully recognized cricketing icons like Yuvraj Singh, Suresh Raina, and Younis Khan, his attempts to identify younger Indian talents proved challenging.
Shahid Afridi’s guessing dilemma
Afridi struggled to identify India’s emerging talent, particularly faltering when shown Abhishek Sharma‘s photo. Mistaking the young cricketer for Bollywood actor Abhishek Bachchan, Afridi’s guess elicited laughter from the host. His candid confusion extended to other players like Suryakumar Yadav, whom he failed to recognize, and Shubman Gill, whom he affectionately referred to as ‘chota bachcha’ (small kid).
The light-hearted interaction showcased Afridi’s jovial side as he engaged in banter with Shefali and shared light moments amidst the intensity of the tournament. The video of Afridi’s guessing game quickly circulated on social media, drawing amusement from cricket fans across borders.

Abhishek Sharma’s impressive show in Zimbabwe tour
Abhishek is currently in Zimbabwe as part of the Indian squad for the T20I series, where Shubman Gill leads the team as captain. Known for his all-round abilities, Abhishek brings a blend of left-handed batting prowess and effective spin bowling to the Indian lineup. His presence adds depth to the team’s middle order and provides a handy bowling option, contributing to India’s strategy in the shorter format of the game. He has already proved his mettle with a stunning century during the second T20I. As India prepares for upcoming challenges, Abhishek’s performance will be crucial in supporting Gill’s leadership and the team’s pursuit of success in Zimbabwe.
