Shahid Afridi, a former Pakistani captain and one of the most lethal all-rounders in the world, has a lengthy history of controversy.
His confrontations with Gautam Gambhir and other Indian cricketers are well-known and receive millions of views on social media.
Afridi, a talented cricketer, made a comment that everyone found surprising, especially Indian fans. Afridi revealed that his daughter waved the Indian flag rather than the Pakistan flag during last week's Asia Cup 2022 match between India and Pakistan.
Shahid Afridi said on a Pakistani television channel that the stadium had only 10 per cent of Pakistani fans while 90 per cent of the fans were from India. "I came to know that there were more Indian fans there," he said in a programme that aired on Samaa TV.
