Twitter explodes as Shahid Afridi finally reveals his real age in his biography
Shahid Afridi shook the cricketing world after he revealed his real age in his biography - Game Changer. This information opened up a lot of questions for the fans across the globe. Twitterati quickly picked up their phones and started to troll Shahid Afridi for finally revealing his real age.
Harsha Bhogle has a point there!
Amused by the fact that Shahid Afridi has revealed the worst kept secret in international cricket. But I have always believed that unless you are playing an U19 World Cup, your age doesn't matter.

Shahid Afridi trend setter!
Not sure why fans are finding it amusing that Shahid Afridi was older than what his passport claimed. Many players in the subcontinent have similar discrepancies in age; Hasan Reza of Pakistan was reportedly 14 (FOURTEEN!) when he made his international debut. #CWC19 #CWC

Did he change his name to hold that record?
Shahid Afridi reveals his real age in his autobiography and He is five years older than the actual reported age...

PS: Shahid Afridi currently holds the record for the youngest to score a century in ODI history.
What a legend!
And even in his own book he gives two different ages for his debut...

Shahid Afridi is not a person. He is a timeless, ageless concept.
Hope Afridi sees this and makes changes!

Cheater #ShahidAfridi still holds the record for youngest cricketer to hit ODI century. Also, who's going to tell him that 1996-1975=21 not 19 🤔 pic.twitter.com/0d5I5ihwtn
The truth!
Good to know that #ShahidAfridi has revealed his real age. He has been 16-year old since the last 40 years.
