In these tough Coronavirus times when the whole of India is fighting as one and are donating the amount in various central and state-level funds, two of the Indian cricketers are asking for donations to support Shahid Afridi Foundation.
Yuvraj Singh And Harbhajan Singh today made a video and posted on Twitter urging everyone to come forward and help the foundation which is running by Pakistani cricketer Shahid Afridi.
“They both in a video said to come forward and donate the amount in his foundation to help Pakistan fight Coronavirus.”
Here is what Harbhajan Singh and Yuvraj Singh tweeted for Shahid Afridi Foundation.

However, after the two asking to support the neighboring nation, Indians are not happy. This gesture isn’t taken well by Twitter and #ShameOnYuviBhajji is trending on top. During the Pandemic, when Indians and the Government are making so many efforts, the two must come forward in joining hands as well.
Here are some of the Twitter reactions:
Coronavirus in Punjab:
– Till now, 41 cases & 4 deaths
– 1330 NRIs untraceable.
– 36 medical professionals, including doctors are quarantined.
And our cricketers Yuvraj Singh & Harbhajan Singh (both from Punjab) are asking Indians to donate for Pak’s Shahid Afridi Foundation.

Was surprised to see #ShameOnYuviBhajji replace #TablighiJamaat as the top @Twitter trend!
How did trolls let go of such an opportunity to play the blame game over #Corona?
Turns out that Yuvi & Bhajji did something far worse in #NewIndia– speak-up for their Pakistani counterpart pic.twitter.com/HFFdXaRRdV— Akash Banerjee (@TheDeshBhakt) March 31, 2020

These people are real enemies of India. They will not help India and their own people who have made them whatever they are. But they are promoting a Pakistani who leaves no chance to defame India and abuse Indians.#ShameOnYuviBhajji#Coronaindia
