Ignore Shahid Afridi at your peril. The 30-year-old Pakistan captain is widely regarded as one of the most destructive batsmen in limited overs cricket. Coupled with his wicket-taking ability as a leg-spinner, he is a one-man demolition squad. But the added responsibility of being captain could be make-or-break for Afridi. His dashing style has made him one of the most popular players among millions of fans, many of whom leave the ground once he gets out.

Former captain Imran Khan believes Afridi is the only man who can lift and unite the talented but unpredictable Pakistanis.
