Shaheen Afridi Gets Laughed At After Calling Pakistan Batter 'Bradman Of T20'

Pakistan fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi went a bit too far in his attempt to celebrate his teammate Mohammad Rizwan's achievement of reaching 3000 runs in T20 international cricket.

Rizwan achieved this milestone during Pakistan's victory over New Zealand in the 2nd T20I of the series. In doing so, he became the quickest player to reach 3000 runs in T20 cricket, accomplishing this feat in just 79 innings.

Cheers to Muhammad Rizwan - the Bradman of T20 cricket and Pakistan's SuperMan for hitting 3,000 T20I runs! 🏏🌟 Your impact has transformed the game and silenced the skeptics. Keep soaring, champion! You're an inspiration to many. @imrizwanpak 🌟💪 pic.twitter.com/JKnoxfEeUF

In congratulating Rizwan on this achievement, Shaheen compared him to the legendary Don Bradman of T20 cricket. However, this comparison received criticism from social media users.

Is this a sarcastic post, or do you really mean it?
