Army Veteran Slams Ajay Devgn For Viral Pic With Shahid Afridi In England: "Only For Soldiers To Die For India?"
Fans have mercilessly trolled Ajay Devgn over his viral picture with Pakistani cricketer Shahid Afridi. The match between India and Pakistan in the ongoing World Championship of Legends (WCL) edition in Birmingham was cancelled recently. But fans reacted to Ajay Devgn chatting with Shahid Afridi who had mocked the Indian Army during the horrific Pahalgam attack on April 22, 2025.
Fans flooded X by re-sharing the pictures and captioning it, "This man's career should be burnt to ashes today" and "You can't trust any Bollywood celebrities".
An Army veteran also questioned, "Is it only for the soldiers to die for India? Jai Hind."
Ajay Devgn is also the co-owner of the second edition of WCL.
What's Happening
Harbhajan Singh, Yusuf Pathan, Shikhar Dhawan, and some other players from the Indian cricket team stood as a strong unit as they refused to play against Pakistan in the ongoing tournament.
After the match between India and Pakistan was cancelled (July 20, 2025), an old picture from that day of Bollywood star Ajay Devgn and Shahid Afridi, one of the greats from Pakistan's cricket team, went viral.
Fans were not happy as Shahid Afridi was one of those people who had mocked the Indian Army when the tensions between the two nations were skyrocketing after the Pahalgam terror.
Army veteran KJS Dhillon also re-shared the pictures on X and slammed Ajay Devgn, "Is it only for the soldiers to die for India? Jai Hind."

Another comment read, "This man's career should be burnt to ashes today if there's even an ounce of dignity left in the people of India. No second chances. No PR whitewash. You dine with those who celebrate our martyrdom; you don't belong in our screens, in our films, or our society.
@ajaydevgn."

IND vs ENG: Full list of records broken during India vs England 4th Test in Manchester
India pulled off an unlikely draw on Sunday against England in the fourth Test in Manchester in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. Though India still trails 2-1 in this series, it goes into the final Test with its tails up, having survived a 311-run first-innings deficit and playing out the final day with just eight wickets in hand. For England, Joe Root and Ben Stokes created multiple records as the side posted a massive 669 runs in the first innings. For the visitor, Shubman Gill continued his run-scoring spree. Here are the records broken in Manchester in the fourth Test: Root equals Sangakkara: England batter Joe Root continued his rise to the top of Test batting charts as he recorded his 38th century to equal Kumar Sangakkara in the most Test centuries list. He's now joint at fourth spot. Root dominates India: This was also Root's 12th century against India, the most any batter has scored against the side. Next-up, Tendulkar: During his 150-run knock, Root went from fifth to second-highest run-getter in Test cricket, surpassing Jacques Kallis, Rahul Dravid and Ricky Ponting. He's now behind Sachin Tendulkar. By the time he was eventually dismissed, Root's tally stood at 13,409 runs. Forgettable century: Jasprit Bumrah recorded the most expensive spell of his Test career, two for 112, in his 48-match red-ball career. Captain fantastic: Ben Stokes became the fourth all-rounder from England to score a century and pick a five-wicket haul in the same match. Tony Greig, Ian Botham and Gus Atkinson are the other players to achieve the feat. Only Botham has achieved this feat more than once (5). In elite company: Ben Stokes completed 7,000 runs in Test cricket — only the third player to record 7,000 runs and 200 wickets in Tests. Only Jacques Kallis and Garfield Sobers had achieved the feat before Stokes. Bumrah equals Ishant: Jasprit Bumrah equalled Ishant Sharma's tally of 51 wickets in England to become India's joint-highest wicket-taker in the country. Mammoth total: England scored 669 runs — the ninth-highest total conceded by India. For England, this was its second-best effort against India, with the best of 710 for seven coming in Birmingham in 2011. The last team to score 600 runs or more against India was New Zealand, which managed 680 runs in Wellington in 2014. Gill's golden run: Shubman Gill became only the third Indian batter after Sunil Gavaskar and Yashasvi Jaiswal to score 700 runs or more in a Test series. He finished his Test with 722 runs, the third-most by an Indian in a series. Gill also became the first Asian batter to score 650 runs or more in a Test series in England. Captain Gill makes a mark: He scored his fourth century of the series, tying him with Sunil Gavaskar and Virat Kohli for the most hundreds by an Indian in a series. Gill also tied with Don Bradman, for the most hundreds in a series by a captain. Bradman had reached the three-figure mark four times during the Ashes in 1947/48 in Australia. Jadeja-Washington strike match-saving stand: Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar struck hundreds on the final day of the Test, adding 223 runs for the fifth wicket, the highest for India in the 4th innings of an away Test.

Bizarre cricket moment! Stokes wants to end 4th Test in draw, IND declines
Stokes' handshake was swiftly rejected by the Indian duo, who seem intent on reaching their individual milestones, with Jadeja on the brink of a century and Sundar steadily closing in on his. Shashwat Nishant New Delhi The final session of Day 5 of the 4th Test between England and India saw something peculiar with England skipper Ben Stokes wanting to shake hands and call the tie off for a draw before end of day's play and India refusing to do so. In an unexpected turn of events, England captain Stokes approached both Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar, offering to shake hands and settle for a draw, likely to conserve energy for the upcoming Test. However, his gesture was swiftly rejected by the Indian duo, who seem intent on reaching their individual milestones, with Jadeja on the brink of a century and Sundar steadily closing in on his. Stokes, visibly bemused, shook his head as the proposal for a draw was turned down. While the England captain is no doubt mindful of the grueling schedule ahead, with the next Test scheduled in just three days, Jadeja and Sundar's focus on personal achievement and contributing to India's total was clear. In the midst of this unusual moment, drinks were called for, adding a brief pause to the tension-filled day. It was a clash of priorities, milestones versus strategic thinking. According to the rule, teams can shake hands and call it a draw within the the last hour of the Test match if the conditions are leading to a stalemate. However, in this case India wanted to let their batters complete their well-deserved milestone first and then walk off the ground.
