Rajkumar revealed Shahid Afridi's agenda behind targeting India again and again.
Former Pakistan cricketer Shahid Afridi's recent comments on Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi hasn't gone down well with the Indian cricket fraternity. Not only did Yuvraj Singh and Harbhajan Singh parted ways from Afridi, but they also slammed him openly on social media.
Another name to join the list of people who stood against Afridi is India skipper Virat Kohli's childhood coach Rajkumar Sharma.

Rajkumar criticized Afridi for his comments and called him a 'negative person'. He cleared that no one takes Afridi seriously from the Indian cricket team, including Kohli.
"Nobody in the Indian cricket team takes him seriously. He was not even taken seriously when he was playing cricket. And he doesn't deserve to because talking like this is not acceptable at any stage. Indian cricketers are sober and they don't talk like this," Sharma was quoted as saying by Republic TV.
"They stand for their country but never abuses any other country or their PM. I think Shahid Afridi needs to learn a lot. He is a very negative sort of guy. Virat Kohli never talks about Shahid he is not that important that he should be talked about," he added.
Kohli's childhood coach feels Afridi is aiming to get into politics and hence talking about political matters more.
"I think Afridi wants to come in politics. Whosoever criticizes or abuses India becomes famous in Pakistan. It is their mentality. Shahid Afridi is moving in that direction. I don't think anybody will take him seriously from now on," said Sharma.
