The verbal spat started with Afridi blaming India by saying that India knows how to blame Pakistan and calling the Indian Army 'ineffective' and 'useless' following the Pahalgam terror attack that killed 27 civilians on April 22.

He also took a jibe at the Indian media coverage of the attack and two senior Indian cricketers for blaming his country for the attack.
