Social Media Sparks Between Indian and Pakistani Cricketers

A recent terrorist incident in Pahalgam, Kashmir, has reignited tensions between India and Pakistan, particularly on social media platforms. Pakistani cricketer Shahid Afridi stirred controversy by labeling the Indian Army with derogatory terms such as "nalayak" and "kamine." In response, Indian cricketer Shikhar Dhawan issued a firm yet respectful reply, reminding Afridi of Pakistan's defeat in the Kargil conflict and urging him to focus on his nation's development instead of making inflammatory comments. Dhawan expressed his pride in the Indian Army, concluding his message with the patriotic slogans "Bharat Mata Ki Jai" and "Jai Hind." Afridi, not one to back down, attempted to mock the situation by referencing the chai incident involving Indian pilot Abhinandan, stating, "Aao tumhey chae pilata hun Shikhar."
