Shahid Afridi’s political aspirations have never been a secret. Ever since retiring from international cricket, the former cricketer has devoted most of his time to charity work and serving humanity with Shahid Afridi Foundation.
And while the man has no definite plans of entering politics, he does have some words of advice for the ruling PM, here’s what he thinks:

In an interview, Lala candidly shared how he feels that Imran Khan should focus on good governance rather than chasing after Asif Zardari and Nawaz Shareef. The clip has been making rounds on social media as netizens remain divided!
Just keep your loyalty and differences aside and think what he has said actually. In my opinion he is absolutely 100% correct.
I wish our Kaptaan realize this too 😊 https://t.co/MKsON6Ecuu

People were lauding him for speaking his mind fearlessly:
Only he has the courage and bravery to say this @SAfridiOfficial.. 🔥❤️
Absolutely agreed https://t.co/pFkfBUxwoY— Salar Abbasi🤍 (@SalarAbbasi10) May 19, 2021
Some were worried that he might get bashed:
Mere Dil ki baat. 💯
I love this man for being so fearless & vocal about everything.
He's a huge IK supporter. He's gonna get bash for this coz sach bola hai ek dum. https://t.co/UxxPlqPXwb— Ayesha-عائیشہ (@Ayesha_ZaYain2) May 19, 2021
Many people found themselves on the same page as him:

People quickly came to his defence for the hate he had been getting:
all he's saying is that khan saab should focus more on good governance and look at the replies and the hate he's getting.
pti fans are proper knee-jerk imbeciles https://t.co/6PbqkfBWfJ

And while many agreed with Shahid Afridi, others deemed him a noob:
He's just like any other noob who doesn't understand why IK says what he says. People want change so fast so he explains why it's hard to bring. Zardari, NS has taken Pak to cleaners. It's not easy but there's progress.

People were explaining how things weren’t as simple as they seemed to be:
What he said sounds correct and logical but only as a commentator. Try joining politics, face personal attacks & family attacks from mafia and media backed by NawaZardari, see what they have done to country and you get blame for their looting THEN we will know how easy it is
