A huge outrage had erupted all over social media as Indian cricketers Harbhajan Singh and Yuvraj Singh backed former Pakistan cricket team captain Shahid Afridi’s foundation in the fight against Coronavirus. Many on Twitter and other platforms questioned as to why the Indian duo are supporting the Pakistani cricketer’s initiative. Now, Afridi has revealed that he had contributed a whopping USD 10,000 towards Yuvraj’s foundation in Canada.
“When I was in Canada, I went to support Yuvraj Singh’s foundation and announced a donation of $10,000 for it. Everyone in Pakistan supported me and nobody said to me why did you make that donation, why are you supporting India,” Afridi was quoted as saying by Pakistani journalist Saj Sadiq.
Having seen relentless trolling on social media, both Yuvraj and Harbhajan took to Twitter to slam people criticising them. The message from the Indian duo was clear, as to in circumstances like these, humanity has to be given the top preference by overlooking religious and political issues.
