Indian fan makes a special request to Shaheen Afridi

The Colombo fan, who is watching the match live, has asked the left-arm seamer to take it easy on the Indian top order.

"A fan asks Shaheen Afridi to be gentle with India's top order after travelling 7 hours to watch the game." "Cricket fever is in full swing," wrote sports journalist Himanshu Pareek, who shared the image. "I drove for 7 hours to see India bat." Toh Shaheen Bhai Thoda Aaram Se..Please," read the note from a fan.?

Cricket fever spread like wildfire on the internet

The image has gone viral, with hundreds of views since it was posted. Many people have commented that Shaheen has accepted the request now that the match has begun.

"7hrs is nothing i went from slovakia to germany to watch fenerbah?e play 12-15 hrs road," a man wrote.

?"Cricket fever is real, my friend. I would be the same way. I can't wait to see the rest of the game," added another fan.

?"Shaheen Bhai aj kal araam se hi hain lekin apke batters un ko khelte hue zyada hi pressure le jate hain," another wrote.

Meanwhile, in the final minute, Rohit Sharma announced that batter Shreyas Iyer has been ruled out of the match owing to back spasms. Iyer's fortunes appear to have reversed again just before the match.?

"Shreyas Iyer had a back spasm during warm-up today," a BCCI bulletin stated. Because of Iyer's injury, wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul was able to fill in and represent India in the heated match.?
