come onn create something new than 2 runs in 4 balls. He hits 114 run in every 100 balls and hits 23 runs in every match in avg NOT 4 runs in 2 BALLS as per your claim.......Lol...you are funny. 4 runs from 2 balls fetches a SR of 200 while 85 runs from 90 balls fetches a mere 95 SR. Take your pick.
Yuvraj has faded out ? The same Yuvraj as in Yuvi who won the Player of the Tournament in WC ?
Its almost blasphemous to compare Yuvraj with Afridi in batting.
Afridi may not have earned in his lifetime as much as what Gambhir did in short span of time. But then we're just talking about why Afridi made those immature comments.
He should at least stand by his statement and not beg in front of India to play in IPL. He should have kept some self respect.
But then it would be too much to expect.

No one's comparing Yuvraj to Afridi, I'm saying Yuvraj faded out badly, like most batsmen do when they play cricket for a long time.
No I am not even going to compare Yuvi with Afridi even if you say anything Its insulting to Yuvi to be compared with a part time batsman who can bowl.
Yes, it is disrespectful for Shahid Afridi, the 11th highest ODI wicket taker of all time, to be compared to someone like Yuvraj Singh.
Thats why I said in the second or third post to compare him with Harbhajan because both are bowlers who can bat sometimes
Afridi has more ODI wickets, as well as more runs lol than Singh. Shahid Afridi has close to 7000 ODI runs, how many does Harbhajan Singh have?
The runs are less because Bhajji always bats at no7 or no 8. Not as an opener for half his career and then getting demoted when better batsmen come.
BTW Bhajji has about 650 international wickets (Test and ODI). Afridi ?
Again no answer ;
I don't know what problem the cry baby afridi has in Gambhir dedicating the triumph to the victims of the Mumbai attacks. He played one of the best WC innings in the finals (98 runs) and promptly/deservedly dedicated the win to the victims. Is it guilty conscience that is pricking Afridi's heart ?
How many ODI wickets does Harbhajan has? Afridi is not a test bowler, or a test player. He has played very few test matches in his life, so it is only fair to compare Afridi's one day bowling record with Harbhajan's bowling record.
Test cricket is the real test of a player. What kind of a player is afridi who had left his team in between during major test series with England. Shameful !!!
Because Pakistan have never had a fixed opening pair, due to internal politics, bad team management & other factors?
I accidentally asked about the average, I meant to ask you his batting strike rate. Afridi has a higher strike rate than Gambhir, & currently, also more ODI runs. Gambhir is just your average guy, nothing special. Doesn't hold any kind of records, doesn't have any special qualities. Afridi, even with his inconsistency, is a matchwinner with his batting. Gambhir is not. That's the difference between the two.
Afridi has the 4th highest batting strike rate in the world, higher than Gambhir. Afridi has also played half the number of games at position 5 & below, & I don't think Gambhir has ever played there, which shows why Afridi has a lower ODI batting average, but still, he has a healthy batting average (despite being lower down in the order), & he also has a much healthier batting average in test matches.
Again, it's about the batting order, nothing else.
