A strong verbal exchange has exploded between the Indian cricketter Shikhar Dhawan and former captain of Pakistan Shahid Afridi After controversial observations made by Afridi over the Indian army after recent horror attack on pahalgamJammu and Kashmir. Dhawan made a strong exception to Afridi’s comments, giving a reduction in the victory of India in the 1999 Kargil conflict.
Shahid Afridi makes derogatory observations against the Indian Army
The controversy began when Shahid Afridi, during an appearance on a Pakistani television channel, questioned the effectiveness of the Indian army by avoiding the tragic attack on Pahalgam, which claimed the lives of 26 civilians.
“It is impactful that one hour of the attack, his means became Bollywood. He struck me, but he was also enjoying the observations that the channels made and these people are called” educated “. Afridi told Samaa TV. He also accused India of regularly blaming Pakistan for these incidents without evidence.
“Even if a firecracker breaks out there, they blame Pakistan,” added. The former Cricketter joined the Indian Army, calling him “Nalayak and Nikamme” (useless and useless) and blame him from Pahalgam’s horror attack.
These observations resulted in a widespread sentence in India, with many figures and public citizens who expressed outrage. Among the most prominent answers was that of the veteran Indian opening batter Shikhar Dhawan.
Shikhhar Dhawan Slams Shahid Afridi to insult the Indian army
Carrying on the X of Social Networks X (Before Twitter), Dhawan did not make words in his criticism of Afridi.
Dhawan’s place, written in Hindi, went directly to Afridi and reminded him of military clashes between the two nations. Wrote, “Kargil Mein Bhi Haraya Tha, Alredy Itna Gire Hue Hue Aur Kitna Girge, Bewajah Comments pass Karne SE ALAI APNE DESH KI TARAQQI MAI MAIGAO @SAFIIDIFECIAL. ARMIO PAR Bohot Garv Hai. Bharat Mata Ki Jai!”
(Translation: “We have also defeated you in Kargil. You have already fallen so low, how low you will go? Instead of passing unnecessary comments, it would be better to focus your mind on the progress of your country. We are very proud of our Indian Army. Hail Mother India! India!”)
Dhawan’s reference to Kargil’s war, a conflict where the Indian army successfully repeated the Pakistani intruders, served as a powerful reminder of India’s military capacity and a direct opposition to the interrogation of African on army efficiency.

The exchange did not end there. Shahid Afridi later responded to Dhawan’s tweet with a sarcastic post, sharing a picture of himself with a cup of tea and subtitle, “Chouro jeet haar ko, aao tumhey chae pilata hun shikhar. #Fantastictea” (Forget -win and lose, come, leave tea, shikhar).

This comment was widely interpreted as a jibe referring to the widely circulated video of the Indian Air Force Commander Abhinandan Varthaman Drink the tea calmly while in Pakistani custody in 2019, where he described the famous tea as “fantastic”.
The warm exchange between the two old cricketers emphasizes the deep tensions that often come out between India and Pakistan, which often pour political and military spheres in the world of sports.
