Shahid Afridi has been taking swipes at India with the tea barb since the Pahalgam attack. He escalated it when Shikhar Dhawan responded by asking the former Pakistani cricketer how low he will stoop.
The Pakistani ex-cricketer also claimed that the former skipper once tried to persuade him to convert to Islam. Afridi has also drawn backlash for calling Indian Army incompetent.
Afridi said he wants the ICC Champions Trophy be held in Pakistan with India's participation. He also hoped that Babar Azam wins his next trophy on home ground but that he must improve his game.
Pakistan is witnessing a Babar vs Shaheen supremacy battle after the country’s cricket board removed Shaheen Afridi as captain to reinstate Babar Azam.

India-Russia JV is also racing to deliver 7,000 more AK-203 assault rifles by 15 Aug. These are currently being made with 50% indigenisation and this will surge to 100% by 31 December.
Public, loud, upfront, filled with impropriety and high praise sometimes laced with insults. This is what we call Trumplomacy. But the larger objective is the same: American supremacy.
