June 21 will forever be in the hearts of Pakistan cricket fans and especially Shahid Afridi. This was the day when Afridi's 54 off 40 balls overpowered Kumar Sangakkara's 64 to hand the men in green their first and only T20 title in 2009.

However, it wasn't just with the bat that Afridi changed the game. His brilliant spell of 1/20 from 4 overs restricted Sri Lanka to a meagre score of 138.
