Afridi isn't the only Pakistani batsman to add fuel to the bursting fire of war between the two nations, earlier Javed Miandad also made provoking statements. He advised his nation to attack India on a local news channel.


The Pakistani batsman completed 20 years of his debut for the country, in which he historically scored a record-breaking hundred off a scarcely believable 37 deliveries in Nairobi's Gymkhana Cricket Ground.


It took him 37 balls to get to three figures, 11 fewer than the previous record holder Sanath Jayasuriya.
