It is said that the Afridi had visited Kashmir (POK) dressed in army fatigues. Rajkumar Sharma, India skipper Virat Kohli’s childhood coach has lashed out at the Pakistani allrounder.

“Nobody in the Indian cricket team takes him seriously. He was not even taken seriously when he was playing cricket. And he doesn’t deserve to because talking like this is not acceptable at any stage. Indian cricketers are sober and they don’t talk like this,” Sharma said.

“They stand for their country but never abuses any other country or their PM. I think Shahid Afridi needs to learn a lot. He is a very negative sort of guy. Virat Kohli never talks about Shahid he is not that important that he should be talked about,” he added.

Rajkumar Sharma also feels that the former Pakistan all-rounder would like to follow Imran Khan’s footsteps and join politics.

“I think Afridi wants to come in politics. Whosoever criticizes or abuses India becomes famous in Pakistan. It is their mentality. Shahid Afridi is moving in that direction. I don’t think anybody will take him seriously from now on,” Sharma said.
