Prevailing cross-border tension may have restricted Indo-Pak bilateral cricketing ties but Shahid Afridi loves to put across a point firmly – his “cordial relation” with India captain Virat Kohli cannot and will not be defined by political situation.
“My relationship with Virat is not dictated by political situation. Virat is a fantastic human being and an ambassador of cricket for his country, just like I am for my country,” Afridi told during an interaction on the sidelines of the St Moritz Ice Cricket Tournament.
“Kohli has always shown a lot of respect and has even gone out of his way to present a signed jersey for my foundation Shahid Afridi Foundation,” he added.
Afridi’s foundation has been working in providing clean and safe drinking water for the economically weaker sections of society
