Indian Fans Send Playful Message to Shaheen Afridi Ahead of India-Pakistan Clash

Indian fans have sent a fun message to Pakistan pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi ahead of the high-voltage clash between the two sides in the ongoing T20 World Cup in New York on Sunday.

Nerves are always high when two of cricket’s oldest rivals face off. Emotions run high, adrenaline rushes, and tension escalates through the roof—these are the hallmarks of an India-Pakistan clash. Fans often debate about the better team and players, but in a recent viral video on social media, Indian fans engaged in some light-hearted banter with Pakistan ace Shaheen.

They joked that Shaheen should consider India’s stalwart duo of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma as his friends. “Rohit ko aur Virat ko apne acche dost samjho,” a fan was heard saying.

In the past, Shaheen has troubled Indian batters with his left-arm inswinging deliveries. One fan humorously suggested Shaheen should bowl below his standards, saying, “Kal acchi bowling nahi karni hai.”

India and Pakistan will step onto the field at New York’s Nassau County International Cricket Stadium to add another chapter to their historic rivalry. In the previous edition of the tournament, India needed magic from Kohli’s bat to seal a thrilling win at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground in 2022. This time, Pakistan will look to avenge that loss and clinch their first win of the tournament.

India T20 WC Squad: Rohit Sharma (c), Hardik Pandya, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant, Sanju Samson, Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj.
