Sachin was scared of Shoaib: Afridi

KARACHI: Former Pakistan Captain Shahid Afridi said that Indian batsman Sachin Tendulkar would tremble when he was facing Shoaib Akhtar, Geo News reported Saturday.

Afridi added that during the ICC World Cup 2011, Sachin was also scared of Pakistani spinner Saeed Ajmal.

In his recently released autobiography, Shoaib Akhtar had claimed that Sachin Tendulkar was scared of him and was not a match winner.

Sachin refused to comment on these claims and they created a backlash for Akhtar in India.
