Like father-in-law, like son-in-law-to-be — netizens think the Boom Boom spirit lives on in Shaheen Afridi

Pakistani Twitter is flooded with Shaheen appreciation after the match between Lahore Qalandars and Peshawar Zalmi.

22 Feb, 2022

Shahid Afridi may be retiring from the PSL but does that put an end to the Boom Boom Afridi spirit? Not if his son-in-law-to-be can help it. Captain of the Lahore Qalandars, Shaheen Shah Afridi, wowed cricket fans in the Peshawar Zalmi versus Lahore Qalandars PSL match on Feb 21. Zalmi may have won the match but Shaheen won everyone's hearts. Netizens couldn't help but compare him to the OG cricketer Afridi, adding "Boom Boom" next to his name.

Shaheen hitting sixes had everyone cheering — even his father-in-law-to-be. And it looks like he agrees with the uncanny resemblance between the star players because he posted photos of the two of them side by side in similar poses and tweeted, "SHAHEEN AFRIDIIII YOU BEAUTYYY!!!"

Pakistani Twitter users said we're "reliving the era of Afridi".

The resemblance is uncanny.

Afridi supremacy.

This user wondered about the Afridi bloodline.

No end to "Boom Boom" just yet.

Is this a Freaky Friday situation?

Memes were bound to erupt.

Kudos to the champion!

It's the Afridis' world. We're just living in it!

My name is Shaheen. And I am a very big fan of Shaheen Afridi too

ABU TALIB Feb 22, 2022 02:47pm

Replica but the time period is different.

Shahbaz Ahmed Feb 22, 2022 02:52pm

@Realistic how u know that he lied about his age?

Syed Hasni Feb 22, 2022 03:20pm

I believe that younger Afridi is much more talented.

Zak Feb 22, 2022 03:47pm

@Realistic Shahid Afridi was fake and always lied about his age. Is Shaheen Afridi same ? Modi lied about his age, degrees, spouse, background but he is PM of India, says a lot about the country.

@Realistic Shahid Afridi was fake and always lied about his age. Is Shaheen Afridi same ? Shahid Afridi is forever youg and forever a legend.

Zak Feb 22, 2022 03:49pm

A ' shaheen' is coming towards India, soon. Hide.

Wel done, keep it up and hang on tough.

Realistic Feb 22, 2022 06:14pm

@Zak Shahid Afridi was always fake and a fluke. He only played for himself and never as a team player.

NYS Feb 22, 2022 06:58pm

The winning action of Shaheen replicate Afridi suits because they have close family relations moreover the similar enthusiasm

Syed Hasni Feb 22, 2022 08:05pm

@Realistic Age is a number, who cares.

@Realistic You have doubtful mind check with it first.

Reliving Afridi moment. There’s something really special in Afridi bloodline.

@Realistic jealous Indian.

Tadka Feb 23, 2022 06:54am

@Zak. there's a difference between lying and keeping silence . Noone hides their humble background as that's an admirable trait in politics

Daredevil Feb 23, 2022 09:17am

Younger Afridi is way more talented however, it doesn't disapprove the talent the senior had.

Dr. Salaria, Aamir Ahmad Feb 23, 2022 03:42pm

United we stand, divided we fall.

Hakka bakka Feb 23, 2022 04:01pm

No doubt about the legend retiring and the legend in making

AMU Feb 24, 2022 07:34am

@Hakka bakka Shahid mostly failed when he was required to stay on the pitch.He just swung his bat and gave away his wicket.It was his looks rather than his performance with the bat that gave hime a place in the team.I am sorry but he was never a team player.
