A war has erupted on social media between retired cricketers Shikhar Dhawan and Shahid Afridi, amidst the stressful deadlock between India and Pakistan after the Pahgam terror attack. The controversial comments of the former Pakistan captain gave a sharp reply to Dhawan on the Pahalgam attack. As the former Indian opener reminded Shahid Afridi of the previous India-Pakistan confrontation, including the Kargil War, the pre-cricketer from across the border gave a bizarre reaction. Even former Pakistan spinner Danish Kaneria doubled on Afridi, called it ‘hypocrisy’.
After the initiative attack, in which 25 tourists and a Kashmiri locals were killed by terrorists, Afridi appeared on a Pakistan television channel and blamed India’s security forces, questioning their skills. Shikhar Dhawan took the social media platform X (East Twitter) and posted a blistering answer.
He wrote, “Kargil Pisces was also defeated, already itna gire hue ho aa kitna giroge, bewajah comments pass @Safridiofficial. Humin Hamari Hamari is proud of Bohot across the Indian Army. Bharat Mata ki Jai! Jai Hind! ,
To which Afridi has now replied, “Churo Jeet hair, come to you #Fantastastasta (forget about victory and disadvantages, I offer you tea peak) “.

Pakistani cricketer Danish Kaneria, who has been criticizing his government since the attack, launched a scary attack in Afridi. He said: “Strange is how a person who refuses to sit or eat with Hindus is suddenly inviting one for tea – did not realize that hypocrisy came with a tea service.”
It is fun that someone who refuses to sit or eat with Hindus is suddenly inviting one for tea – did not realize that hypocrisy came with a tea service. https://t.co/64jmu9inxi

Talking to Sama TV, Afridi said, “Tumor logon has an 8 million hi army of Kashmir Pisces and this happened.
Terrorist attack in Pahalgam, convicted on Pakistan -backed terrorist organizations, is one of the deadliest in Kashmir since the 2019 Pulwama attack, and has triggered global condemnation.
