When Shahid was also caught in the same situation

Shahid Afridi experienced a similar situation when playing at a tournament in Switzerland in the early months of 2018. Indian fans were there too meet him with the flag. When Shahid Afridi looked at the tricolour after posing with them for the camera, he realised that it was not fully open. Shahid took the picture only after telling the fan to “straighten the flag.”
