On Tuesday, Afridi had grabbed the attention by his controversial tweets on ‘Kashmir’. The former Pakistan all-rounder had called for United Nations’ (UN) intervention on Kashmir issue after the Indian security forces killed 13 innocents in three gunfights. And his point was simple and clear.
Shahid Afridi always supporting the Indian cricketers the best way he could and motivating them by labeling Indian captain as a great human and welcoming them with good gestures.
“My relationship with Virat is not dictated by political situation. Virat is a fantastic human being and an ambassador of cricket for his country, just like I am for my country. He has always shown a lot of respect and has even gone out of his way to present a signed jersey for my foundation (Shahid Afridi Foundation),” Afridi had told PTI in February.
Here is what he tweeted,

Appalling and worrisome situation ongoing in the Indian Occupied Kashmir.Innocents being shot down by oppressive regime to clamp voice of self determination & independence. Wonder where is the @UN & other int bodies & why aren’t they making efforts to stop this bloodshed?
On which Virat Kohli has expressed his views on Shahid Afridi’s statement concerning Kashmir, saying that he will oppose anything that is against the benefit of his nation.
