Indian opener Gautam Gambhir has always been known to give opinions on the trending issues in India. Recently, on Tuesday, he made a harsh remark on the tweet posted by former Pakistani cricketer Shahid Afridi. Afridi had blamed India for the widespread violence in the state of Jammu and Kashmir.
The debate on Kashmir has always been a thorn between India and Pakistan. And the most recent post of Afridi has only acted as an insult to injury for the recent cases of civil clashes including the stone pelting on the Indian army emerged in the J&K. In a recent update, over 50 people were injured in such clashes.

With the same backdrop, Afridi urged the United Nations to come and intervene in the issue. He tweeted: “Appalling and worrisome situation ongoing in the Indian Occupied Kashmir.Innocents being shot down by oppressive regime to clamp voice of self determination & independence. Wonder where is the @UN & other int bodies & why aren’t they making efforts to stop this bloodshed?”

Now, Gambhir has taken to Twitter to gave an apt reply to Afridi for his tweet. He shared a very severe response to the tweet. He went on to mock the vocabulary of Afridi and called him ‘retarded’ as well. Certainly, he was in no mood to settle down easily in this regard.

It is worth noting that Gambhir is a proud nationalist and has always come out in support of the Indian army and this response clearly states his immense support for the defense services. Also, Shahid Afridi has never been on good terms with Gambhir.

Here is how Gautam Gambhir responded to Afridi’s tweet: “Media called me for reaction on @SAfridiOfficial tweet on OUR Kashmir & @UN. What’s there to say? Afridi is only looking for @UN which in his retarded dictionary means “UNDER NINTEEN” his age bracket. Media can relax, @SAfridiOfficial is celebrating a dismissal off a no- ball!!!”
