When Pakistani cricketer Shahid Afridi expressed sympathy with the terrorists in Kashmir, then Indian cricketers did not take too much time to answer their agreements. Gautam Gambhir responded immediately to Shahid Afridi’s tweets made in support of the terrorists. On this matter, Team India captain Virat Kohli and 1983 World Cup winning team captain Kapil Dev also responded. Virat said, “If someone will say something against our country, then obviously we will not support him.
Afridi’s tweet read: “Appalling and worrisome situation ongoing in the Indian Occupied Kashmir.Innocents being shot down by oppressive regime to clamp voice of self determination & independence. Wonder where is the @UN & other int bodies & why aren’t they making efforts to stop this bloodshed?”

He went on to add: “We respect all. And this is an example as sportsman. But when it comes to human rights we expect the same for our innocent Kashmiris.”

On this, Virat said, ‘As an Indian, you would like to say that which is in the interest of our country and my interests are always the same, which will benefit my country. If someone opposes it, then I will definitely not resort to it.
Further, Virat said, ‘As I told you earlier, it’s a very personal choice for someone to comment about certain issues. Unless I have complete knowledge of this whole issue, I would not like to say anything on these matters, but of course your priority will be tied up with your country. “
Virat is busy practicing with Royal Challenger Bangalore (RCB) for the IPL tournament, which starts on April 7. Team India captain Virat is also the captain of RCB. Today, when he was busy with the media, the journalists asked him for the opinion of Shahid Afridi on the tweet, which is currently in discussion. In this tweet, Afridi expressed sympathies with 13 terrorists killed in Jammu and Kashmir.
Just a Correction : it's a "Pakistan Occupying Kashmir" .. KASHMIR WAS, IS AND WILL BE A INTEGRAL PART OF INDIA 🇮🇳.

Gambhir’s tweet on Tuesday read: “Media called me for reaction on @SAfridiOfficial tweet on OUR Kashmir & @UN. What’s there to say? Afridi is only looking for @UN which in his retarded dictionary means “UNDER NINTEEN” his age bracket. Media can relax, @SAfridiOfficial is celebrating a dismissal off a no- ball!!!”

Kapil Dev said that he (Afridi) is who? Why should we give him so much importance?
