Former Pakistan cricket captain Shahid Khan Afridi made a statement in his very first Lankan Premiere League (LPL) 2020 match on Friday, leaving no doubt that there is still a lot of cricket left in the 40-year-old. 

The Galle Gladiators star pummeled the Jaffna Stallions' bowlers on his very first match of the LPL 2020.

Afridi scored a quick-fire 58 runs off 23 balls before he was sent to the pavilion. Nevertheless, the swashbuckling all-rounder's tall sixes and aggressive batting gave his fans around the world their money's worth.

Here is how social media reacted to the former Pakistan captain's innings:

We're happy Afridi still has some cricket left in him, even at 40, and continues to let his bat do the talking.
