The ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 fever soars and is fast approaching. Ahead of the mega event, Pakistan’s Shahid Afridi picked his all-time playing XI. The selection raised many eyebrows as the cricketer went on to ignore Sachin Tendulkar and MS Dhoni from his side and instead picked only one Indian cricketer i.e. Virat Kohli for his all-time list. This surely has not gone down well with the netizens as they took to social media to express their anger and trolled the Pakistani cricketer brutally. Shahid Afridi Says Kashmir Belongs to People of Valley Not India or Pakistan.

Afridi’s all-time list comprised of names like Saeed Anwar, Adam Gilchrist, Ricky Ponting, Inzamam ul-Haq, Jacques Kallis, Wasim Akram, Glenn McGrath, Shane Warne, Shoaib Akhtar and Saqlain Mushtaq. MS Dhoni who has been one of the best finishers and leading the Indian side to win the 2011 World Cup did not find a spot in Afridi’s team. Sachin Tendulkar who has amassed 2278 runs in 44 innings at an average of 56.95 with 16 half-centuries and six centuries was also excluded. This bagged nasty reactions from the fans.
