Shahid Afridi
Shahid Afridi is one of the most explosive cricketers the world has ever seen. As a 16-year-old, Shahid Afridi broke the record of scoring the fastest century in One Day Internationals with a 37-ball ton.
This led to Shahid Afridi becoming a force to reckon with at a very tender age in world cricket and getting the nickname of 'Boom Boom' Afridi.
But who coined this nickname for the flamboyant Pakistani all-rounder is not known to many. Shahid Afridi however, revealed the secret in a recent Twitter interaction with fans, where he was answering many questions about his life and career that his fans asked.
When a fan asked Afridi the name of the person who gave the Pakistani all-rounder the title of 'Boom Boom', Shahid Afridi replied answering, 'Ravi Shastri.'
