Chandigarh, November 11

Pakistan’s Shaheen Afridi got carried away and on the demand of fans mocked at India cricketers Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul on being out in their opening game of the T20 World Cup on October 24 in Dubai.   

The Pakistan pacer was seen enacting the way in which the three players were dismissed from his deliveries.

Afridi took the crucial wickets of opening duo Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul as well as that of India captain Virat Kohli later in India's innings.

With the Pakistan crowd rejoicing, Afridi was seen engaging with the crowd while fielding near the boundary rope.

A viral video of the Pakistan pacer from the game shows him enacting the dismissals of the Indian top-order trio of Rohit, Rahul and Kohli.

In the video, fans can be heard chanting the name of Rohit, to which Afridi responds by performing a poke fun at-lbw dismissal, the same way he dismissed the Indian opener.

A few moments later, Afridi also reenacts Rahul's dismissal after fans chanted the latter's name.

The crowd then urged Afridi to reenact Kohli's dismissal. Afridi obliged and played a mock-pull shot, the same way Kohli lost his wicket after a half-century.

The video received mixed reactions from fans, with some praising Afridi for playing to the crowd and others saying that he has been disrespectful towards players.
