Gautam Gambhir on Saturday morning (4 May) tweeted that India is still providing medical visas to Pakistanis and that he would personally take cricketer Shahid Afridi to a psychiatrist.
@SAfridiOfficial you are a hilarious man!!! Anyway, we are still granting visas to Pakistanis for medical tourism. I will personally take you to a psychiatrist.

This statement by Gambhir is said to be a direct reaction to Shahid Afridi’s comments against the cricketer turned BJP leader in his autobiography.
In the autobiography, Afridi wrote that Gambhir has no great records to his name, no personality and barely has a character.
These comments from Afridi came despite the fact that Gambhir has an ODI average of 40 as compared to Afridi’s 24. Gambhir has scored over 10,000 runs all formats while the Pakistani cricketer only has around 8,000 runs.
Earlier, Afridi had also revealed that he in reality is five years older than previously believed hence the Pakistani all-rounder was 21 and not 16 years when he broke records with his 37-ball century against Sri Lanka in Nairobi in 1996.

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
