World T20: Feel more loved in India than in Pakistan, says Shahid Afridi

[Bigg Brother]

Pakistan skipper Shahid Afridi had warmwords for India during his press conference in Kolkata on Sunday. Speaking to reporters a day after the team's arrival, Afridi said that he was happy to be in India, where he was even more loved than in Pakistan."India mein humne humesha cricket enjoy kia, yahan ke logon se humein bahut pyar mila, itna pyar humein Pak mein bhi ni mila jitna yahan,"he said. [i have always enjoyed cricket in India. I have always received a lot of love fromthe people here; even in Pakistan I haven't been loved this much.]"I think cricket had helped in bringing the two nations closer. So, I think thatsports and politics should be kept apart," he added.Admitting that the first two matches would be extremely important for Pakistan, the 38-year-old called on his side to start the rhythm from the opening match itself."The first game is always very important. We will take the rhythm from the very first game. We will playour first match against Bangladesh (they are yet to qualify) and then India.""Both matches are extremely crucial. Bangladesh are playing good cricket as well. I think we have to maintain our rhythm from the very first match. Wehave been performing well in this (Eden Gardens) ground. We are well aware about the conditions here,” Afridi added.The Pakistani skipper also praised the Indian side, saying that they had been performing well in recent times and it will be a tight affair against them on March 19.

Afridi is a typical "thaali ka baingan". His statements change depending on where he makes them. Wait for his presser when he goes back to Pakistan and disses India about something or the other.

Well,why wouldn't he? He's in Bengal after all

In Momota land, people from Pakistan are most welcome. I am sure she would have given the entire team all 3 meals in her residence and photo op.

This might be true to a certain extent. Many people in Pakistan want him to be removed from the team. He still has a massive fan following in Pakistan though.
