News summary

Shaheen Shah Afridi is poised to make history as he approaches 100 wickets in the World Test Championship (WTC), needing just seven more wickets to become the first Pakistani bowler to reach this milestone. The 24-year-old left-arm seamer has been a vital component of the Pakistan cricket team's strategy since his debut in 2018, holding an impressive record of 93 wickets in 25 matches. Meanwhile, October 4 marks the anniversary of Shahid Afridi's record-breaking achievement when he scored the fastest ODI century in just 37 balls against Sri Lanka in 1996, a record that stood until 2014. Afridi's explosive innings not only included 11 sixes but also made him the youngest player to score a century in ODIs at just 16 years old. His iconic performance contributed to Pakistan's strong position in that match, ultimately leading to an 82-run victory over Sri Lanka. Afridi's legacy as one of cricket's greatest big hitters continues to inspire fans and players alike.
