Shahid Afridi Lion King Style Goes Viral on Social Media Sparks Outrage Among Indians
Following India’s refusal to play Pakistan in the semi-final of the World Championship of Legends 2025, Shahid Afridi’s commanding presence became the center of attention. Displaying their usual cowardice, the Indian team fled the ground, refusing to compete in the semi-final, while Shahid Afridi stood proudly on the pavilion balcony, observing the scene.
A viral image of former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi, watching India’s retreat from the balcony, has taken social media by storm. Pakistani fans are elated, while Indian users are furious. Pakistani netizens have dubbed the moment a “Lion King moment,” likening it to a scene where victory is assured before the battle, with the lion standing calmly at its throne while the elephant flees the field.
India’s refusal to face Pakistan in the WCL semi-final handed the Green Shirts a direct ticket to the final. Social media users remarked that Shahid Afridi defeated India without even picking up a bat, calling it yet another example of India’s “tradition of running from cricket.” One user commented, “Shahid Afridi’s balcony style looked like a Maharaja, while the Indian team scurried away with their tails between their legs.” Another user stated, “Whenever Pakistan-India cricket relations are mentioned, this moment will be etched in history in golden words.”
India’s refusal to play Pakistan is not a new phenomenon, whether in the Asia Cup or ICC events, as they have consistently prioritized politics over sports. This time, at the Legends level, the same tactics were employed, but the world witnessed Pakistan not abandoning the field but conquering it.
