The Indian cricket team who are currently in Kandy celebrated India’s 70th independence by hoisting the national flag.
A sense of mutual respect has been observed by the former Pakistani skipper with the Indian cricketers when skipper Virat Kohli gifted Afridi an autographed bat for the latters foundation.
The Indian team also presented an autographed jersey of all the players when Afridir retired from international cricket last April.
