Afridi claimed that not even Indian players like Gautam Gambhir, in the interaction, where Harbhajan Singh also took part.

This prompted laughter from Harbhajan Singh and host Vikrant Gupta as well. However, this laughter didn’t sit down well with the Indian cricket fans who chastised Harbhajan Singh for his reaction to what Afridi said about his former India teammate Gambhir.
