#IndiaVsPakistan: Pre-match medical check-up

The teams have changed, the sponsors have changed, there's one constant though: Shahid Afridi. Hasn't he always been there? Always saving his best or worst for India, no half measures for Afridi. What will India-Pakistan games be without him?

They will say, it's Virat Kohli versus Mohammad Amir and Rohit Sharma versus Mohammad Irfan. Don't be fooled. It's Afridi the bowler versus Afridi the batsman versus Afridi the poser versus Afridi the captain, and if all fails, it will be Afridi the retirement master. What more can you ask from an 18-year-old who will be becoming twice his age on March 1.

Bring on Boom Boom! Bring on the butterflies.
