Former Pakistan cricket captain Shahid Afridi clearly says that Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli must play till 2027 ODI World Cup. He targeted the attempts to drop Rohit and Virat from the ODI team and said that these two players are the backbone of Team India. He also targeted Team India’s head coach Gautam Gambhir and said that Gambhir cannot always be right.

Rohit and Virat’s support

Speaking to Telecom Asia.net, Shahid Afridi said, “It is true that Virat and Rohit are the backbone of the Indian batting line-up. The way they played in the recent ODI series, it can be said with full confidence that both of them are capable of playing till the 2027 World Cup.”

He further said, “You have to preserve these two star players. When India is playing with a weak team, then Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma can be rested and new players can be given a chance.”

Rohit broke the record of sixes, Afridi happy

Till a few days ago, the record of hitting most sixes in ODI cricket was in the name of Shahid Afridi. He had hit 351 sixes in his career. Rohit Sharma has overtaken him in this list, who currently has 355 sixes in his name.

Shahid Afridi said on his record of sixes being broken, “Records are made only to be broken, now this one has also been broken. I am happy that the player I like has broken my record. The record of my fastest century remained in my name for about 18 years, eventually that too was broken. One player makes a record, another comes and breaks it. This is the name of cricket.”

The Indian team defeated Pakistan in the final to win the Asia Cup 2025 title, but PCB president and ACC chief Mohsin Naqvi did not hand over the trophy to Team India but sent it out. Indian fans and legends are listening to them, even the former cricketers of Pakistan did not leave them. Former fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar described Naqvi and his management as ‘Headless Chicken’, while Shahid Afridi advised him to leave the post of PCB President.

Talking to Ary News, Shoaib Akhtar said, “There is a complete management like headless and senseless. Team combinations were not right, captaincy was not accurate and he was not ready to listen to us. I don’t think a captain justifies his place in the middle order, nor as a spinner. Not even fed them. When the management itself feels insecure, it does not allow big players to move forward, and then the work could not be done. “

What did Shahid Afridi say about Mohsin Naqvi?

Former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi advised Mohsin Naqvi to focus on any one of cricket and politics. Speaking to Telecom Asia Sport, he said, “PCB is a completely interior ministry, because of this it should be kept separate. Pakistan needs time to run cricket and he cannot completely trust the advisors.”

He further said, “These advisors are not taking him anywhere, he himself believes that he does not know much about cricket. He should appoint good and capable advisors who understand the game. I request my Mohsin Naqvi that both posts are important and big work, which needs both time and attention.”

Why Team India did not take the trophy from Mohsin Naqvi

Mohsin Naqvi is the PCB president and ACC chief and is also the Home Minister of Pakistan. He has spewed poison against India many times. Team India did not want to take the trophy in the hands of the war against India. Indian players waited for a long time, but Mohsin Naqvi sent out of India’s winning trophy stadium.

By winning the Asia Cup 2025 title, the Indian team has started preparing for their next series (IND Vs Wi). Under the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav, Team India defeated Pakistan by 5 wickets in the Asia Cup final match played on Sunday. However, the trophy of the tournament was sent out by Mohsin Naqvi, when he came to know that Team India did not want to take the trophy with his hand. Meanwhile, it has come to light that if Pakistan had won the final, what would have been revealed by former cricketers Shahid Afridi and Muhammad Yunus.

In the Asia Cup 2025, 3 matches, including the final, between India and Pakistan, Suryakumar Yadav & Team did not join hands with Pakistan’s players in the first match. The PCB and his team were then stunned, in the Super-4, their players made embarrassing intention with the intention of teasing Team India on the field itself. After winning the final, Suryakumar Yadav announced that he is donating his fees of all the 7 matches played in the tournament to the Indian Army.

If Team India has lost, what would Pakistan do?

Prior to the final, former Pakistan captains Shahid Afridi and Muhammad Yunus had revealed what they would do if the Pakistan team defeated India in the final. He had told that if this happens, the Pakistan team will dedicate this victory to Pakistan Air Force. Afridi had also revealed that he himself gave this idea to the players of Pakistan.

However, Pakistan’s dream could not be fulfilled to dedicate that victory to its army or Air Force. Explain that by defeating Pakistan in the group stage, Suryakumar Yadav dedicated that victory to the Indian armed forces and Pahalgam victims, after which the PCB complained to Surya to the ICC.

The final went to the last over

However, Pakistan gave a tough fight in the Asia Cup final. Chasing 147, India’s top 3 wickets fell for just 20 runs, followed by a 57 -run partnership between Tilak Verma and Sanju Samson. Sanju was dismissed for 24 runs, then Tilak shared a 60 -run partnership with Shivam Dubey.

Dubey was dismissed on the last ball of the 19th over. India needed 10 runs in the last over to win. Tilak Verma hit a six in the final over by Haris Rauf, Rinku Singh hit a winning shot on the fourth ball and India won the final by 5 wickets. Tilak Verma scored an unbeaten 69, for which he was chosen as the Player of the Match.

The fight between India and Pakistani cricketers in the field is not new. Abhishek Sharma and Haris Rauf’s argument, is currently in discussion. But before this, Gautam Gambhir-Shahid Afridi, Harbhajan Singh and Shoaib Akhtar also came face to face. Now Irfan Pathan has taunted Shahid Afridi over the controversy over India-Pakistan match.

Irfan Pathan also reacted to Abhishek Sharma’s debate with Pakistani players on his YouTube channel and then to his social media posts. He said, “A lot of aggression was seen in the Indo-Pak match. Even Abhishek Sharma had to say in a post-match presentation that Pakistani players were talking about what they should not have been said. When Abhishek and Gill posted on social media, their message was clean, ‘You keep winning, we will continue to win.”

Shahid Afridi warns

Without naming Shahid Afridi, Irfan Pathan said that some former Pakistan cricketers try to remain in the headlines by taking the name of Indian players. He said, “Some former players do not like it. They talk in the show in the media and earn money from that. I am not taunting anyone, I am happy that someone is having a stomach in my name.”

Giving another spicy statement, he said, “If someone wants to say something, then I come in front and say. I have dismissed such players 10-20 times and have the power to get out even further. If they cannot stand on the field, then how will you be able to stand outside the field. Ashwin had said a very good thing on his YouTube channel. It will definitely be face to face and that person will not be able to stand.”

India and Pakistan are face to face in the Super-4 of the Asia Cup 2025. Earlier, former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi reacted to Irfan Pathan’s statement and said that he should talk to face to face with him. In fact, Irfan had recently narrated an anecdote of 2006 how he stopped speaking Afridi on a tour of Pakistan.

Shahid Afridi, describing the story of Irfan Pathan as wrong, said that he considers him a man who should talk face to face. Pathan had said in an interview that players from Karachi were going from Lahore India and Pakistan together. Pathan said, “Afridi shook his hair with his hand on my head and said, ‘How is the child?”. I said when you have become the Father. Abdul Razzaq was with him, I asked him what he gets here. He said that he said that Irfan Pathan is speaking like this.

What did Shahid Afridi say?

Shahid Afridi said, “The one who talks face to face, I consider him a man. One who can talk with my eyes in my eyes. He keeps talking behind my back. I will answer only when he says in front of me. How should I answer his lie? Anyway I call Razzaq a cow of Allah. I think he wants to prove that he is against Pakistan.”

However, Pakistan and their people have a record of lying. His government also lies to the people, so that they are made happy. Like ‘6-0’. The Pakistan Army lied to its people that during the Operation Sindoor of the Indian Army, he killed six Indian fighter jets.

Today, India-Pakistan collision in Asia Cup Super-4

Today there is a competition between India and Pakistan in Dubai. This is the second match of the Asia Cup 2025 Super-4. The first match was played on Saturday, in which Bangladesh defeated Sri Lanka. All teams will play 3-3 matches in Super-4, a total of 6 matches will be played. After this, the final will be played on September 28 between the top-2 of the four teams.

Shahid Afridi, who is often a poisonous statements against India, has also accepted that the Indian team will be a winner in the Asia Cup match. India vs Pakistan match is to be played from 8 pm tonight. Apart from them, 2 other Pakistani cricketers have also admitted that there is no chance of Pakistan to win ahead of Team India. Those are old things when India and Pakistani cricket teams were kept at equal levels, but now there has been a huge difference between the two teams. This is proved by the ranking itself, because India is the world’s number-1 team in T20, while Pakistan is in eighth position in the ranking.

Shahid Afridi praised the confidence of the Indian team, saying, “Look at the new players coming to Team India, they are all full of confidence. They have no fear or pressure, they have already played more than a hundred matches in the stadium filled with people.

Shoaib Akhtar and Rameez Raja opened Pakistan’s poll

Former Pakistani cricketer Rameez Raja said that the Pakistan team will need a miracle to defeat India. At the same time, Shoaib Malik claimed a big claim that this match against India is going to show Pakistan team to its place in world cricket.

Shoaib Akhtar also did not back down from opening the poll of his own team. He said that the batting of the Pak team will be shattered in front of the Indian bowlers. He said, “You can escape against teams like Oman, but not against India. How will Jaspreet play Bumrah.” No Indian will be sure of these things of Pakistani cricketers, because those who always count the good aspects of the Pak team, are now predicting the Indian team to win.

The joke made by Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi about India did not know that it would insult his country. In fact, the India Champions team decided not to play the semi -final match of the World Championship of Legends 2025 with Pakistan Champions. The players of the Indian team captained by Yuvraj Singh did not want to play cricket with the country that spreads terrorism in India.

India’s first match was with Pakistan in the World Championship of Legends, but India decided not to play in that match on July 20. Shikhar Dhawan had tweeted this on social media even before the match was canceled. India won the last match of the league stage by a big margin and made it to the semi -finals, but it was decided with Pakistan.

What did Shahid Afridi say in the latest statement about India?

As soon as Pakistan’s semi -final match was decided with India, Shahid Afridi showed his true color and started making fun of India. He said, “Pakistan’s semi -final match is with India, now he will not know which mouth will play but will play with us.” But he did not know that this statement would insult his country.

Afridi would not have thought that even after a big match like the semi -final, Indian players will decide not to play it and will be out of the tournament. But Yuvraj Singh & Team did this. After this, when Shikhar Dhawan, Suresh Raina and other players were going from the stadium, Shahid Afridi kept standing in helpless.

During this time, the audience was cheering by looking at Indian players and taking their names. Indian players also shook hands and greeted the audience, during which Afridi stood alone at the stand. He was looking at Indian players, he felt that he would also see me but no player looked at him.
