'Why Didn't You Tag Afridi' - Fans to Dhawan

The banter between Afridi and Dhawan started when the former Pakistani cricketer reacted to the Pahalgam terror strike in an extremely insensitive manner. Afridi questioned and blamed the Indian government for it. 

Speaking to Samaa TV, Afridi said, "Tum logon ki 8 lakh hi fauj hai Kashmir mein aur yeh ho gaya. Iska matlab nalayak ho, nikamme ho na tum log security de nahi sake logon ko (You have an 800,000-strong army in Kashmir and still this happened. It means you are inefficient and useless if you can't provide security to the people)."

Afridi's statement prompted a sharp reply from Dhawan. The ex-India opener then went on to remind Afridi of the past India-Pakistan confrontations, including the Kargil war. 

Dhawan's response read: "Kargil mein bhi haraya tha, already itna gire hue ho aur kitna giroge, bewajah comments pass karne se acha hai apne desh ki taraqqi mai dimag lagao @SAfridiOfficial. Humein hamari Indian Army par bohot garv hai. Bharat Mata Ki Jai! Jai Hind! 

It is now going to be interesting to see if Afridi has the courage to respond or not.
