Former India cricketer Yuvraj Singh has come 🐠under severe criticism after his decision to support the Shahid Afridi Foundation to fight against COVID-19.
Yuvraj’s decision to help Shahid Afridi came after Harbhajan Singh, who had requested his fans to make donations to the former Pakistan captain’s foundation. Harbhajan had tagged Yuvraj, Wasim Akram and Shoaib Akhtar, requesting them to spread the awareness.
In his recent post on Twitter, Yuvraj wrote: “These are testing times, it’s time to lookout for each other specially the ones who are lesser fortunate. Lets do our bit, I am supporting @SAfridiOfficial & @SAFoundationN in this noble initiative of covid19. Pls donate on //donatekarona.com #StayHome @harbhajan_singh.”

However, Yuvi’s tweet didn’t go well with Indian fans, who lambasted him for supporting Shahid Afridi’s foundation. The primary reason behind this was Afridi’s past remarks about India, which had enraged many Indian fans in the past.
Considering the stern relations between♈ the neighbouring countries, netizens were furious at Yuvraj for extending support to Afridi and his foundation, along with urging fans to donate♔ to the same.
Here’s how Twitter reacted:
Not done! He runs propaganda against India and is one of the mo🌸st hateful Pakistani celeb and you are supporting him?

Really? Why should we support that country who don't even give ration to Hindus and Christians, in this trying time. Rather look after your countrymen than those sick minded people.

Humanity? Where is their humanity while they are denying basic necessities to Hindus. Denying basic facilities on religious basis isn't inhumane for you?
