There's a reason why former Pakistan all-rounder Shahid Afridi was given the nickname 'Boom-Boom'. One of the finest attacking batters Pakistan has produced, Afridi held the record of scoring the fastest century in ODI cricket, having notched up a 37-ball ton against Sri Lanka in Nairobi, for a long time. In 2014, New Zealand all-rounder Corey Anderson broke Afridi's record in 36 balls. Former South Africa skipper AB de Villiers then shattered Anderson's record by registering a 31-ball ton against West Indies in 2015.

Assistant Coach Azhar Mahmood Reveals Why Pakistan Didn't Use Spinner On Day 3 Of 1st Test Against Bangladesh

Pakistan assistant coach Azhar Mahmood revealed on Friday that they didn't use spinners on day three of the first Test match against Bangladesh because there was grass on the pitch at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. During Bangladesh's first inning on day three, Khurram Shahzad led the Pakistan bowling attack after he picked up two wickets. Naseem Shah, Naseem Shah and Saim Ayub bagged one wicket each in their respective spells after the end of the third day. Speaking at the post-day press conference, Mahmood said that the team management thought the grass on the wicket would favour the seamers.
