Former Pakistan skipper Shahid Afridi created a sensation on the internet after he pulled off an unbelievable catch on Friday in a Pakistan Super League match.

In the second match of the league between, Quetta Gladiators and Karachi Kings, Afridi sent Umar Amin back to pavilion for 31 runs with this blinder.

In the 13th over of the match when Muhammad Irfan was bowling, Umar hit a length delivery and everyone was expecting it to be a maximum but ‘Superman’ Afridi caught the ball inches away from the rope, toss it in the air, crossed the rope and then ran back to complete the catch.

The Karachi kings won the match by 19 runs.

“Shahid Afridi is truly an ageless cricketer. 21 years after his debut he is still finding ways to entertain the crowd. The catch by him today, without exaggeration, is the greatest effort by a Pakistani fielder on the boundary. He’s the real Karachi King!,” wrote another Afridi fan.
