Video: Indian players meet Shaheen Shah Afridi, inquire about his health

Indian cricketers, including Virat Kohli, met Pakistani pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and inquired about his health.

In a video shared by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), Indian players were seen shaking hands with Afridi and inquiring about his knee injury.

“Yaar mein soch raha hoon aapki tarhaan bas batting shuru kar doon, aik haath se chakkay lagaaoon,” [I am thinking of becoming a batter like you, start hitting sixes with a single hand),” said Shaheen to Rishabh Pant.

“Kyun bowling mein ziada effort lagti hai? Fast bowler ho to effort lagaana parega sir, compulsory hai,” [Why? Because there’s more effort in bowling? If you’re a fast bowler, you have to put in an effort. It’s compulsory], responded Pant to Shaheen Afridi.

While having a conversation with Virat Kohli, Shaheen Shah Afridi said, “Aap ke liye dua kar rahe hain aap form mein ayein, dekhna chaahte hain aap ko,” [We are praying for you, we want to see you back in form].
