The 2007 T20 World Cup final loss to India hurt him so badly that Shahid Afridi hit himself with his own bat in frustration.
The Pakistani all-rounder said that his biggest regrets in his life were seeing Pakistan lose the 1999 World Cup final to Australia and the Twenty20 World Cup final to India in 2007.
"Believe me these two moments still haunt me. After the T20 final I hit myself on the foot with my bat so hard in utter frustration at the way I got out that I couldn't walk properly for two days," he said.
Afridi said he wants to be a part of a Pakistan team that wins a World Cup.
"People say I have two or three years of cricket left in me. I would love to be a member of a team that either wins the T20 World Cup or the 2011 World Cup," Afridi said in TV interview.
"I like to play my natural game and that is my strength. I want people to enjoy my game," he added.
On captaincy, Afridi said he enjoyed leading the Sindh and Karachi teams in domestic cricket but wouldn't like to comment on getting the national team's rein.
"That is not my job that is for the board to decide. I am just happy to be part of the Pakistan team," he said.
