“It’s not like I have had a fight with any of the Indian players. Yes, sometimes there are some arguments with Gautam Gambhir on social media,” Afridi said about his relationship with cricketers from India.

“And I think that Gautam is a sort of character who no one likes even in the Indian team.”

While one would expect silence from the India side, former spinner Harbhajan Singh also joined the banter and started laughing — drawing strong criticism from fans.
