How IPL Lovers Made Life Miserable For Afridi On Twitter

Former Pakistani cricketer Shahid Afridi has sparked yet another row, only a week after stirring a controversy on Kashmir and Terrorism. Afridi reportedly said in an interview that he would not feature in the Indian Premier League (IPL) even if he is invited to play. The Boom Boom batsman drew criticism from Indian fans, when he compared IPL with Pakistan's domestic T20 tournament, Pakistan Super League (PSL).

"Even if they call me, I won't go to the IPL. My PSL is the biggest and there will be a time that it leaves the IPL behind. I am enjoying the PSL, I don't have any need for IPL. I'm not interested in it and never was," Afridi was quoted as saying in a recent interview.

Following this tweet from a Pakistani journalist, cricket fans in India showed no mercy in trolling the former Pakistani cricketer. They remembered Afridi's IPL stint with Deccan Chargers.

When @SAfridiOfficial was playing for IPL & charged crores for doing so, everything was peaceful in Kashmir. There was no human rights violation, no Indian “oppression” and no @UN. Shahid Afridi sold the Kashmiris for USD 675,000 when he played for Deccan Chargers. Huge Fan ? pic.twitter.com/rtsbl3PZPk

Now they will be jobless for next two months because of IPL ; as next two months are exclusively alloted to IPL.

Same guy said that his team gets more love in India than Pakistan. Also, he said that Miandad is after money and Miandad in turn said that Afridi is a match fixer and if it's not true then he should swear on his kids. Why should we take you seriously, Pakis?

Afridi's forefathers were the first to make a loot and rape in Kashmir when Pathans from Fata attacked an independent kingdom state of Kashmir.

Afridi @SAfridiOfficial: admire your sense of humor.Had you been in Army and done any sort of adventurism with @adgpi, your beloved country would have refused to take back your mortal remains. And 'PSL> IPL in few years': HaHaHaHa.. Funny you!

Reacting to the trolls on his comment, Afridi said he is not worried about the response.

Shahid Afridi "I'm not worried about the response to my tweet from some. I believe I spoke the truth and I have the right to speak the truth"
