As a star all-rounder, Shahid Afridi is used to delivering blows to his opponents on the cricket field. But it turns out, the Pakistan T20 captain can also take a hit.

Much to the delight of his fans, Afridi, aka Boom Boom and Lala, spared 30 minutes out of his otherwise busy schedule to answer questions on his official Facebook page.



One fan took the opportunity to tease Afridi over his often short stint at the crease, saying, “Try to stay at the crease for over 30 minutes someday.”

Afridi was thoroughly amused by the comment, as seen below:

Some of Lala’s fans from neighbouring country India also showed their love and support for him.

Perhaps the funniest moment was when Afridi was asked who the more ‘dangerous’ Indian cricketer was. Hilarity, of course ensued:



He also revealed that his favourite non-Pakistani cricketer was none other than South Africa’s AB De Villers.



When asked if he wants to join former Pakistani skipper Imran Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and Lala gave a straightforward response.
