"Kargil Mein Haraya...": Shikhar Dhawan Rips Into Shahid Afridi For Insulting Indian Army After Pahalgam Attack

A day after former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi made unsavoury comments about the Indian Army, Shikhar Dhawan has given a strong reaction. The comment and the reaction come days after the Pahalgam terrorist attack on April 22, that claimed 26 lives. The incident has resulted in one of India's worst face-offs with Pakistan. Days after the attack, Afridi, a veteran of 27 Tests, 398 ODIs and 99 T20Is, mocked Indian Army and media for their take on the Pahalgam terrorist attack.  

Dhawan gave him a strong reply. "Kargil mein bhi haraya tha, already itna gire hue ho aur kitna giroge, bewajah comments pass karne se acha hai apne desh ki taraqqi mai dimag lagao @SAfridiOfficial. Humein hamari Indian Army par bohot garv hai. Bharat Mata Ki Jai! Jai Hind! (We beat you in Kargil. Already you guys have stooped so low, how further can you go? Instead of passing commentes, focus on improving the conditions of your own country. We are proud of Indian Army)," Dhawan said in a X post.

Afridi had earlier questioned the role of Indian Army and called it 'nalayak, nikamma (good for nothing, worthless) for failing to stop the Pahalgam terrorist attack.

"Tum logon ki 8 lakh ki fauj hai Kashmir mein aur yeh ho gaya. Iska matlab nalayak ho, nikamme ho na tum log ki security de nahi sake logon ko (You have an 8,00,000-strong army in Kashmir and this still happened. It means you are inefficient and useless if you couldn't provide security to the people)," Afridi said on a TV show.
