The Kashmir Premier League 2021Twenty20 tournament kicked off in Muzaffarabad Friday and Twitter users are pumped. One of the many reasons they're excited, though, is Shahid Afridi.

Here's the complete lineup of the players participating in the KPL.

The six-team event, which will continue till August 17, features Muzaffarabad Tigers, Rawalakot Hawks, Bagh Stallions, Mirpur Royals, Kotli Lions and Overseas Warriors. Overseas Warriors team will comprise Kashmiri players from overseas while the rest of the outfits will be representing different cities of Azad Jammu and Kashmir.

The matches are being played at the Muzaffarabad Cricket Stadium.

Now while everyone's excited for the matches and some good cricket, there's one player who has everyone's hearts beating a little faster — Shahid Afridi.

The prolific cricketer retired from international cricket in 2017 but has been playing in the PSL. Clearly, that wasn't enough for fans.

People are calling him an ambassador for Kashmir.

He's still got the ability to pull in massive crowds.

There were high expectations for Boom Boom.

And he didn't disappoint

Nothing has changed, said Twitter users.

He's just the same old Afridi.

People watching the matches saw that the passion for cricket has swept Muzaffarabad.

Some even spotted Virat Kohli on the field, or maybe it was just Ahmed Shehzad with a new look.

Speaking of Shehzad, a lot of people were praising his performance too.

Are you excited for the KPL?

Due to unnecessary, irrelevant, unbecoming, unwarranted and uncalled for intervention by racist, bigot, biased, liar, wicked and prejudiced Modi and his fascist, crooked, corrupt, cruel, cunning, crafty and criminal R.S.S. and BJP cronies, who have a penchant by birth and brought up to mix sports with politics, the just started 2021 Kashmir Premier League T/20 Cricket Tournament in the picturesque Muzaffarabad Cricket Stadium in Azad Jammu and Kashmir has become famous and popular all over the world.
