Shahid Afridi might have hanged his boots in international cricket, but he still is a dangerous batsman. Known for his hitting prowess, Afridi dazzled everyone with a sizzling hundred in the NatWest T20 Blast in England.
The former Pakistan skipper scored his maiden T20 hundred, hitting enormous sixes and brutal boundaries. His 43-ball 101 propelled Hampshire to an imposing total of 249 against Derbyshire in the Twenty20 Blast.
Boom ? Boom ? Boom ? Boom ?

Derbyshire got bundled for a paltry 148, as Liam Dawson and Kyle Abbott restricted them. Afridi, meanwhile, completed his fifty off just 20 balls. He got dropped on 65 before completing his hundred.
