If there is one cricketer who comes up with epic replies to silence the oppositions, like a boss, it is Gautam Gambhir. How many times have we seen him winning the argument in heated debates with cricketers? This time too, it was nothing new. Gautam Gambhir and Shahid Afridi got involved in a war of words with Afridi sparking a new controversy over the Kashmir issue. Gautam Gambhir joined the bandwagon to give him a classic reply.
Former India opener Gautam Gambhir has slammed ex-Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi after the latter said that he will soon visit the Line of Control (LoC) to “express solidarity with our Kashmiri brethren” following the government’s decision to abrogate Article 370 which granted special status to Jammu and Kashmir.
After Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan had announced that a 30-minute event will take place every week in his country to show solidarity with the Kashmiri people, Afridi jumped in to support the call and said that he would be at Mazar-e-Quaid (the tomb of Pakistan founder Muhammad Ali Jinnah) in Karachi at 12 noon on Friday.
“Let’s respond to PM call for Kashmir Hour as a nation. I will be at Mazar e Quaid at 12 pm on Friday. Join me to express solidarity with our Kashmiri brethren. On 6 Sep I will visit home of a Shaheed. I will soon be visiting LoC (sic),” Afridi tweeted.
To which the cricketer-turned-politician took to twitter and said: “Guys, in this picture Shahid Afridi is asking Shahid Afridi that what should Shahid Afridi do next to embarrass Shahid Afridi so that’s it’s proven beyond all doubts that Shahid Afridi has refused to mature!!! Am ordering online kindergarten tutorials for help.”

Afridi had earlier called for intervention by the United Nations and the US after the revocation of Article 370.
Gambhir and Afridi have clashed several times off the field and this isn’t the first time that the two have locked horns on the Kashmir issue.
