Shikhar Dhawan (L), Shahid Afridi (R)
Former Indian cricketer Shikhar Dhawan's parody account has once again taken a dig at Pakistan, this time in the wake of the successful 'Operation Sindoor', a recent cross-border strike reportedly aimed at neutralizing terror infrastructure.
Known for his aggressive style on the field, Dhawan is also not one to hold back on it. Taking to his X (formerly Twitter) handle, Dhawan's fan page posted a cheeky remark aimed at India's neighbour Pakistan: “Aur kaisi lagi chai padosiyon?” — a taunt that has quickly gone viral and is being celebrated by Indian fans online.

As expected, his tweet has gone viral with netizens high on patriotic feelings. “Un log ke pass to chai bnane ke liye pani bhi nahi hai sahab!” shared a user.
Likewise, another user shared, “May be they will retaliate with Operation Maaf Karo Abba. PKMKB.” “Once a legend said -If you give, you have to take it,” shared another user.
The comment comes in the backdrop of heightened tensions between India and Pakistan following the Pahalgam massacre, in which 26 innocent tourists lost their lives.
Dhawan had expressed strong condemnation at the time, stating, “Killing innocents is an act of cowardice. My prayers are with the families.”
This isn't the first time Dhawan has sparred with Pakistani cricketers. Earlier, he had a verbal spat with former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi, who had criticized India's internal policies.
Dhawan hit back sharply, telling Afridi to "first fix your own backyard" before commenting on India.
