Former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi has once again taken center stage—this time, with a bold response to Indian cricketer Shikhar Dhawan. Afridi’s comeback has gone viral, earning him praise across social media platforms.
Afridi Hits Back at Indian Army’s Failure in Kashmir
After the tragic Pahalgam terror attack in Indian-occupied Kashmir on April 22, Shahid Afridi openly criticized India’s security apparatus. In a blunt statement, he questioned how such an attack could happen despite India deploying nearly 800,000 soldiers in the region.
“You have deployed 8 lakh soldiers in Kashmir, and still people are getting killed. This shows complete failure. Stop blaming others and accept your own incompetence,” said Afridi during a press talk.
His comments, seen as a direct jab at the Indian military establishment, sparked heated debates across the subcontinent.

Shikhar Dhawan Tries to Counter—But Afridi Fires Back
Shikhar Dhawan responded on X (formerly Twitter), accusing Afridi of spreading negativity. Dhawan brought up the Kargil war and urged Afridi to focus on Pakistan’s development instead of commenting on Indian matters.
However, Afridi didn’t hold back.
“Your country stages attacks to blame others. First, protect your people. Kashmir is not your property; it belongs to the Kashmiris. Don’t teach us history. We’ve seen your politics of fear.”
Afridi’s calm yet powerful response silenced many critics. His words echoed strongly among fans in Pakistan and even neutral observers abroad.
Social Media Explodes: “Lala Always Speaks the Truth!”
Within hours, hashtags like #AfridiSlapsBack, #LalaKiBaat, and #ShahidAfridi began trending in Pakistan and parts of the Gulf. Fans applauded Afridi for taking a stand and “exposing Indian hypocrisy,” as many put it.
One viral post read:
“Shahid Afridi just gave the reply of the decade. No drama. Just facts. #Respect.”
Another user wrote:
“Shikhar tried to act patriotic but got schooled by the legend. #AfridiRoars”
Thousands of tweets, Facebook reels, and Instagram stories flooded in support of Afridi’s stance.
Pakistani Celebrities and Politicians Support Afridi
Several Pakistani public figures praised Afridi’s boldness. Actor Shaan Shahid tweeted, “Lala speaks what millions feel. Kashmir needs justice, not empty slogans.” PTI’s Shahbaz Gill also shared Afridi’s clip, adding, “When truth speaks, propaganda falls apart.”
Afridi’s message not only resonated at home but also gave Pakistanis a sense of pride on the international stage.
Final Word: Afridi Proves Why He’s Still a Crowd-Puller
Once known for his explosive sixes, Shahid Afridi now hits hard with his words. His recent exchange with Shikhar Dhawan proved that he still commands massive influence—not just on the field, but in the hearts of millions.
In a time when most celebrities stay silent on political matters, Afridi stood firm. And social media? It stood right behind him.
