We are cricketers as well as ambassadors, so it is better to give message of love and respect for Asia Cup 2023, says Shahid Afridi on Gautam Gambhir’s comment

India vs Pakistan, Asia Cup 2023: In the Asia Cup 2023, when the match was played between India and Pakistan at Pallekele Stadium, a very friendly atmosphere was seen between the players of both the teams. This great match was canceled due to rain. Seeing this kind of friendship between the players in this match, former Indian player Gautam Gambhir gave a strong reaction and said that only the game should be focused during the match and you should keep your friendship out of the field for that long.

Talking on Star Sports, Gautam Gambhir had said that when you are playing for the country, you cannot joke with the player of the opposition team. You would not have seen this a few years ago. Aggression should be visible in the eyes of the players of both the teams. No matter how much friendship you keep after the match, but during the game you are representing your country, you should pay attention to it.

Now on this statement of Gautam Gambhir, former Pakistani team captain Shahid Afridi has responded while talking to the media. Afridi said that I think differently on this subject. We are both cricketers and ambassadors. We all have a lot of fans all over the world and that’s why we should give the message of love and respect. Yes we should be aggressive on the field but we have a life outside it as well.
