Mohali: Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi’s eccentric character has earned him an equal number of fans as well as detractors. And one wonders, what will be the kind of legacy he will leave behind after a 20-year international career, in case he hangs up his boots, as announced recently, if Pakistan lose to Australia in today’s World T20 tie at the PCA Stadium here.

Ramiz Raja, who was in the Pakistan squad when Afridi made his ODI debut in 1996 against Kenya, felt Pakistan cricket will miss the X-factor with the 36-year-old deciding announcing his retirement after the heart-breaking loss to New Zealand in Mohali on Tuesday.
