As two explosions jolted Afghanistan's capital city Kabul on Thursday, cricketer Rashid Khan took to social media and appealed to stop the killings of innocent Afghans. As thousands awaited evacuation inside and outside the Kabul airport, two explosions went off killing at least 11 and injuring 15, as per the latest estimates which are likely to grow as more information becomes known. 

Afghanistan's T20 skipper Rashid Khan took his Twitter handle and wrote that Kabul is bleeding again and requested to stop the killing of Afghans. 

Before the Taliban takeover, Rashid Khan had appealed to the world leaders to not leave his motherland in ‘chaos’. He also mentioned that thousands of innocents, including children and women, are getting martyred every day and the houses and properties are being destroyed as well.
