XtraTime Web Desk: Indian cricket team captain Virat Kohli has slammed former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi’s recent comment on Kashmir issue. Talking to reporters in Bangalore, Kohli said, “As an Indian you want to express what is best for your nation and my interests are always for the benefit of our nation. If anything opposes it, I would never support it for sure.”

He further added, “But having said that, it’s a very personal choice for someone to comment about certain issues. Unless I have total knowledge of the issues and the intricacies of it I don’t engage in it but definitely, your priority stays with your nation.”

Afridi has been strongly criticised for his recent controversial remark on twitter. The leg spinner tweeted:
