In a nostalgic throwback to the Pakistan Super League (PSL) match on March 11, 2018, a video resurfaced on 'X', captivating cricket enthusiasts worldwide. The clip showcases a memorable duel between two cricketing generations as the seasoned Shahid Afridi, then 38 years old, faced off against the young and promising Shaheen Shah Afridi, a 17-year-old fast bowler representing Lahore Qalandars.

During this PSL encounter, Shahid Afridi exhibited his trademark aggression by smashing a colossal six off Shaheen Afridi's delivery. 

However, the very next ball saw the experienced batter's stumps rattled, courtesy of a brilliant delivery from the emerging left-arm seamer. In a remarkable display of sportsmanship, Shaheen refrained from celebrating in his usual style, choosing to acknowledge the veteran's contribution to the game.

This clash of generations unfolded during a PSL match, where Lahore Qalandars faced Karachi Kings. Shahid Afridi's powerful hitting and Shaheen Afridi's precision in dismissing the seasoned campaigner became a moment etched in PSL history.

At present Shahid Afridi's son-in-law is none other than Shaheen Shah Afridi. While Shahid Afridi enjoys retirement, Shaheen Afridi has become a key asset in the Pakistani bowling lineup, currently serving as the vice-captain in the ongoing Test series in Australia. 

Notably, Shaheen has also been entrusted with the leadership role as the captain of the Pakistani Twenty20 team.
