Shahid Afridi amid fresh controversy

Pakistan T-20 caption Shahid Afridi seems to be loving back to back controversies. At the first case, his statement of being loved in India better than in Pakistan has backfired. Lot of senior Pakistani cricketers raised their hands to give back some counters. That might be the time when Shahid Afridi was certainly loved in India. But the next time he made some comments, they were against India. Before the match in Mohali with New Zealand, Shahid Afridi stated that the viewers in the stadium cheering for him are from Kashmir.
He might be mentioning the fact that some people in Kashmir do favour Pakistan, rather than India. But these words would of course hurt India. BCCI secretary Anurag Thakur has today criticised Shahid for his remarks. "To give a statement like that is not politically correct. A player should stay away from all this. That's the reason why he was criticised in Pakistan," Thakur said referring to successive controversies led by Shahid. Who can deny the judgement of Anurag!
