Event: | ICC Champions Trophy 2009/10 |
DateLine: 23rd September 2009
Stand-by Pakistan skipper Shahid Afridi spoke his mind after taking over the mantle of Pakistan captain.
 
Afridi, seems to like speaking his mind, especially when the topic is Sachin. 
"In case of Sachin, you are talking about him in the form he was in 2003. This is 2009," Afridi said when asked whether Tendulkar was still a threat to Pakistan. 
The swashbuckling all-rounder also said that India have been lucky to have beaten Pakistan in all the ICC events, and he showed confidence that his team would buck the trend this time by getting the better of their traditional rivals in the ongoing Champions Trophy. 
"So far, luck has been with India. Hopefully, it would all change this time around," said Afridi, who is also vice-captain of his side in the eight-nation event. 
Indians, along with hosts South Africa, are claimants to the world's best one-day batting side tag but Afridi said Pakistan are no less.LATEST SCORES
