Shahid Afridi’s respectful gesture wins hearts of Indian fans

Star cricketer Shahid Afridi came up with an amazing gesture when he asked an Indian fan to keep her country’s flag open while posing for photographs with him in Switzerland recently.

“Flag seedha karo apna (hold your flag straight),” he said to her and the fan obliged, after which the picture was taken.

There have been numerous famous heated encounters when India and Pakistan have played against each other. But apart from high voltage drama on-field, the love shared by both teams off the field has also gathered headlines all around.
