Shahid Afridi Vs Gautam Gambhir: Twitter Erupts As Old Rivals Meet Again At Legends League Cricket
New Delhi: Gautam Gambhir and Shahid Afridi have always made headlines together, be it on cricket field or be it post retirement. The duo once again hogged the limelight, but this time in a match of the Legends League Cricket in Doha on Friday.
While Gambhir is leading India Maharajas in the LLC, former Pakistan skipper has been trusted with the leadership duties at Asia Lions. The rivalry feud between the two started back in 2007 when Gambhir engaged in an on-field feud during a ODI in Kanpur.

However, with India choosing not to play bilateral cricket against Pakistan due to political issues of both countries, the rivalry shifted to social media after their retirement. Gambhir, for the unknown is currently a Bhartiya Janata Party MP.
Afridi recently served as interim Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman during the Pakistan vs New Zealand series at home. However, as soon as the picture surfaced on the internet netizens couldn’t keep calm.
Here are some of the reactions.
Wonder why he became MP. Either he is coaching some team, doing commentary or playing these useless tournaments. What a waste. https://t.co/RU7LbquayG
