For his next assignment, the 40-year-old Afridi is all set to lead the Galle Gladiators in the inaugural edition of Lanka Premier League (LPL). However, a very interesting incident happened before he could land in Sri Lanka – Afridi missed his flight! As a result, Afridi is likely to miss the first two games of his side.


The peculiar yet funny development was announced by the cricketer himself from his official Twitter account.



The fact that it was the captain of the side who missed the flight, right before their inaugural match left the fans stunned. They couldn’t contain themselves and hilariously trolled Afridi. We look at some of the funniest ones we could find:





Afridi was an integral member of the Multan Sultans in the recently concluded PSL 2020 – taking them to the Playoffs stage, where they lost out. He was in the news recently when during a PSL game, he wore an innovative yet dangerous looking helmet which was without it’s top most grill.


Whatever might be the case, be it on the field or off the field, Afridi or ‘Lala’ as he is fondly called, is one of the most entertaining cricketers to play the sport.
