Pakistan opening batsman Ahmed Shehzad, who is renowned for his presence on social media, took to Twitter yesterday to answer a few questions from fans.

The session soon turned into an interview of sorts whereby Shehzad revealed a list of things he considers favourites, from artists to athletes, and from clothing choice to food preference.

When asked who he considers his favourite singer, the right-hand batsman was quick to respond with late Pakistan qawwali legend Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.



However, a few minutes later when a fan queried if he likes One Direction, Shehzad exhibited quite a bit of knowledge about the British pop band. “One Direction broke up and yes they have some good music, but Zayn Malik’s solo is too good,” he said.



Clearly, the batsman is a man who enjoys a variety of things.

The session went on further with Shehzad revealing Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie as his first crush.

The Lahore-born batsman also disclosed that his biggest achievement in life was to represent Pakistan and his best innings was when he scored the country’s first century in T20Is, which was against Bangladesh in 2014.





Shehzad also added his all-time favourite Pakistani cricketer was left-arm legend Wasim Akram and his favourite all-rounder was none other than former Pakistan skipper Shahid Afridi.





And apart from cricket, the opener enjoys football as well, revealing his favourite club to be Manchester United.



And, in the end, he also weighed in with his opinion over the Messi versus Ronaldo rivalry.



Messi might take offense to that!
