Ajay Devgn meets Shahid Afridi in England: Here’s the truth behind the viral photos

Former Indian players stood as one and voiced their discontent playing against Pakistan during the current World Championship of Legends (WCL) in England. The match was canceled when players like Shikhar Dhawan, Yusuf Pathan, Harbhajan Singh, and others refused to play because of political tensions between India and Pakistan. The two teams were supposed to play on Sunday. The WCL organizers posted a message on their X account explaining the cancellation decision and stating that they wanted to recreate some "happy memories" during the event.

Following the cancellation of the India-Pakistan match, a photo of Bollywood star Ajay Devgn with former Pakistan cricketer Shahid Afridi has gone popular on social media. It's important to note that Ajay shares ownership of the current WCL.

Fans are criticizing Ajay for meeting and posing with the former Pakistani cricketer, who made fun of the Indian army during the border disputes between the two nations.

The image, however, is actually from the WCL 2024 edition. Ajay attended the WCL 2024 final between the India and Pakistan champions, which the former won, at Edgbaston in Birmingham.

As for the current season, the India-Pakistan league stage match was canceled, but if both sides qualify, they can face each other again in the knockouts. If both India and Pakistan advance to the semi-finals and win their respective penultimate matches, a final between them is also a likely possibility, so the organizers already need to be ready for such a scenario.
