With the COVID-19 pandemic taking spreading rapidly across various parts of the world, Former Pakistan all-rounder Shahid Afridi showcased a great sense of responsibility and initiated a foundation to help the poor people. Many cricketers also lauded the cricketer’s effort and posted videos, urging people to donate in the Shahid Afridi foundation including Harbhajan Singh. The talismanic off-spinner also appreciated Lala’s effort and nominated Shoaib Akhar, Wasim Akram and Yuvraj Singh to share a video, asking people to donate for the social cause. Former Pakistani speedster Akhtar was the first of the three to accept Bhajji’s challenge and posted one such video. Along with doing that, however, the 44-year old also pulled Afridi’s leg for not nominating him directly to make the video but instead asking Harbhajan to do so.  Shahid Afridi Thanks Yuvraj Singh, Harbhajan Singh for Supporting His Foundation Amid COVID-19 Crisis.

“Yaar @SAfridiOfficial tu khud bhi keh deta toh main bana deta video for such a great cause @harbhajan_singh se nominate kerwaya (Dude Shahid Afridi, if you would have said it yourself, I would have made a video for such a great cause, you asked Harbhajan Singh to nominate me)” wrote Akhtar on the micro-blogging website. However, he also went to appreciate Afridi’s initiative and urged to all his fans to donate as much as they can in this time of crisis. “Smiling face with open mouth and tightly-closed eyes. Thanks bhajji for being a part of this. Lala is doing a great job on this. Plz help @SAFoundationN as much as you can,” wrote Akhtar.
