Lahore, July 7: Former Pakistan skipper Shahid Afridi has reiterated that batting legend Sachin Tendulkar was 'scared' to face Shoaib Akhtar in some spells during their famous duels.

"Sachin obviously won't say it himself that 'I'm scared'. There were some spells from Shoaib Akhtar in which not only Sachin but some of the world's best also got shaken up," Afridi told TV anchor Zainab Abbas in a chat on her YouTube channel.
