Afridi has said that  Afridi emerged to international scene with a big 'boom' as he scored the fastest ODI century (off 37 balls) in his first international innings (second ODI match) against Sri Lanka in 1996. Afridi is fondly called as 'Boom boom Afridi' for his aggressive batting style.Afridi wants to gets his super fast century again.  Along with his aggressive batting, he has established himself as one of the most effective leg-spinner in one-day cricket. He has so far amassed more than 6,500 runs and captured 300 plus wickets in one-day internationals. Afridi is the current Twenty20 captain for Pakistan and was leading the one-day side till May 2011. As skipper, Afridi led Pakistan to the semifinal of the 2011 Cricket World Cup before losing to eventual champions India in Mohali. Afridi made his ODI debut against Kenya at Nairobi in October 1996, and was awarded Test cap against Australia two years later at Karachi in October 1998. The dashing all-rounder has hit most sixes in the history of ODI cricket but still consider himself as better bowler than batsman.
