The rivalry between former Indian cricketer Gautam Gambhir and his Pakistani counterpart Shahid Afridi is still going strong even though they both have retired from the International cricket. However, now they clash with each other on the social media networks, especially on the micro-blogging site Twitter.
The abolition of Article 370 in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir has not gone well with Pakistan despite the fact that it is India’s internal matter. The Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan is trying his best to get international support on this matter and he is also asking his countrymen to show support to Kashmiris. Imran Khan has announced that a 30-minute program will take place every week in order to show support to Kashmiri people.
After this announcement, Shahid Afridi took to Twitter and asked people to respond to their PM’s call. He tweeted that he would be at Mazar e Quaid at 12 pm on Friday and also asked his fans to join him for showing solidarity with Kashmiris. His tweet further read that he would be visiting home of a Shaheed on Sep 6 and soon he would visit LOC.
Here is what he tweeted,
“Let’s respond to PM call for Kashmir Hour as a nation. I will be at Mazar e Quaid at 12 pm on Friday. Join me to express solidarity with our Kashmiri brethren.
On 6 Sep I will visit home of a Shaheed. I will soon be visiting LOC.”

Gautam Gambhir was not able to keep calm and he responded in a classy manner with a tweet that read,
“Guys, in this picture Shahid Afridi is asking Shahid Afridi that what should Shahid Afridi do next to embarrass Shahid Afridi so that’s it’s proven beyond all doubts that Shahid Afridi has refused to mature!!! Am ordering online kindergarten tutorials for help @SAfridiOfficial”
