NEW DELHI: Former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi on Monday expressed gratitude to India skipper Virat Kohli for donating his bat for the Shahid Afridi Foundation.
“Thank you @imVkohli for your kind gesture in support of @SAFoundationN. Friends & supporters like you ensure #HopeNotOut for everyone,” Afridi wrote on his twitter handle, attaching a picture of the bat.
Kohli replied Afridi on Twitter, “You’re most welcome Shahid Bhai.. Wishing you and the @SAFoundationN all the luck for the upcoming events.”
The Indian team had also presented a Kohli shirt, signed by all the players, to Afridi when he retired from the international cricket last April.
The shirt, which fetched Rs 3 lakh at an auction in London, had a message from the Team India captain, saying, “To Shahid Bhai, best wishes, always a pleasure playing against you.”
