Shahid Afridi and Abdul Razzaq are one of the best LOIs all-rounders Pakistan ever had. When on song both can win match single handedly either with Bat or Ball. What if you have to choose one? Who it will be?
Abdul Razaaq
A versatile all-rounder who can bat and bowl at every position in the team. When he started he was a genuine quick but lost his pace due to fitness problems. He can be defensive when needed and can switch gears at any moment. Once he decides to go after bowlers he can be one of the most destructive batsmen with cleanest hitting ability. He is bang bang for some reason. His services has been grossly underutilized by the Pakistan team especially during twilight of his career. He has not been used to the full potential and continues to be sidelined.
Shahid Afridi
Fans Favourite for thrill and energy he causes his surroundings. He was picked as bowler but announced himself with boom boom "the quickest 100". His 36 ball hundred was such that it will have everlasting impact on his career. Everybody including himself forgot that he was primarily a leg spin. Though over the years his more failures than success with the bat enforced him to revive his prime trade that is bowling still his fans fancy his destructive innings with bat which are few and far between.
