DUBAI: Shahid Afridi found himself at the receiving end after giving youngster Saif Badar a rude ‘send-off’ during an HBL Pakistan Super League here at the Dubai International Stadium on Saturday night. Afridi who finished with match-winning figures of 3-18 in Karachi Kings’ 63-run triumph against Multan Sultans reacted aggressively after dismissing the 19-year-old Saif in the match. His gesture received widespread criticism on the social media. Saif, however, took it in his stride and even posted a message on twitter saying: ‘Still love you Shahid bhai.' Afridi was quick to respond as he apologised for the gesture via a Twitter post. “I’m sorry what happened that was momentum of the game. I always support my youngsster. Good luck,” he wrote.
