Image credit: X (Formerly Twitter) Former Pakistani cricketer Danish Kaneria also criticized Afridi's statements. After the Pahelgam attack, Afridi had claimed that India itself carried out the attack and then blamed Pakistan. On April 28, Kaneria had said that his statement was wrong. Shahid Afridi had said in his statement, "For an hour terrorists kept killing people in Pahelgam, but none of the 8 lakh Indian soldiers reached there. Later India blamed Pakistan for this." His statement went viral on social media. Former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi married Nadia, who happens to be the daughter of his maternal uncle. Both of them got married in 2000. Afridi talked about improving relations through sports. He said, "They can send a Kabaddi team but not a cricket team. If they want to shut it down, then shut it down completely, otherwise let the sport continue." This is not the first time that India and Pakistan will come face to face after Operation Sindoor. Earlier on May 24, India defeated Pakistan during the Junior Davis Cup. After the match, a Pakistani player behaved disrespectfully while shaking hands with an Indian player, which was captured on camera.

The untoward incident happened amid heightened tensions between India and Pakistan following the April 22 terrorist attack in Pahalgam, which claimed 26 lives, most of them tourists. In response, India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7, targeting nine terrorist bases deep inside Pakistan. The situation further escalated into a full-fledged conflict between the two neighbours, including drone interceptions by Indian Air Defence forces, widespread blackouts, and red alerts across Jammu and Kashmir. A ceasefire was eventually agreed, restoring a tentative calm. These tensions also briefly disrupted the 2025 season of the Indian Premier League, which resumed following the ceasefire. IPL Chairman Arun Dhumal confirmed to IANS on Tuesday that all three service chiefs of the Indian Armed Forces have been invited to attend the IPL final on June 3 in Ahmedabad, under the theme of honouring the heroes of Operation Sindoor.
