Speaking about Pakistan pacer Shaheen Afridi's performance in the Super Four stage match against India in the Asia Cup 2025, ex-Gujarat batter Priyank Panchal said, "I’ll always fail to understand the hype around Shaheen." "No zip, no pace, no discipline. I’ve seen first-class bowlers deliver better spells with more consistency," Panchal added. Shaheen recorded figures of 3.5-0-40-0 in the match.
