Not only did he end with a hat-trick, but he also collected four wickets on four consecutive balls. Pakistan’s young fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi has such a reputation in the T20 blast.
Afridi accomplished that feat playing for Hampshire against Middlesex. Afridi returned the ball to John Simpson, Steve Finn, Thilan Walalauita and Tim Murtagh, respectively, in the third (18.3), fourth (16.4), fifth (16.5) and last (61.6) of the 16th over inning. In particular, Afridi pitched four consecutive wickets.
Not just these four, Afridi fired two more batters in the match and also forced them off the field playing bowling. Afridi collected a total of six wickets in the match, including the wickets of Steve Eskinaji and Luke Hallman.
The best of his career, Afridi set an all-time record in T20 cricket for Hampshire with 6 wickets for 19 runs in 4 overs.
This is not the first time in T20 cricket that he has removed four consecutive four-ball grounds. In this format, 6 more cricketers before Shaheen have this achievement. Even in international cricket, Malinga and Rashid Khan have taken away four four-ball pitches.
