Former Pakistan cricket team captain and all-rounder Shahid Afridi has recently signed his autograph on the tricolour flag of India at the behest of an Indian spectator. The video of him signing an autograph on the Indian flag is becoming increasingly viral on social media, and cricket lovers from both countries respect the gesture and express their love for Afridi.
Shahid Afridi is participating in the ongoing LLC Masters T20 tournament in Doha. During this, veteran players from all over the world are a vital part of this league. In such a situation, a security guard asked for an autograph from him, and he put forward his Indian flag, to which Shahid Afridi did not hesitate to give an autograph. After that, he also gave his autograph on a T-shirt and finally got on the bus thanking him.

Shahid Afridi’s Attachment To The Indian Flag And Stories
Even before this, the veteran batsman has shown his love for the Indian flag. During a tournament, he straightened an inverted flag held by an Indian spectator and took a photo with the fan, on which the Indian spectators showed their love for his gesture.
Last year, during the India-Pakistan match, Afridi’s daughter hoisted the Indian flag, which caused a lot of commotion. However, Afridi came to the media and spoke about this incident.
Afridi said, Yes, you told me; my family was sitting there. The video was being sent to me, and I was watching, and my wife said that only 10 per cent of Pakistanis are here. The rest, 90 per cent of Indians, are Indians only. Shahid Afridi said, Even the Pakistani flag was not found there. That’s why my younger daughter raised the flag of India in her hand.
