However, Gautam Gambhir responded to it saying that soldiers shouldn’t die on any sides of the border. Moreover, he

Absolutely, 100 percent… I believe in the fact that jawans (soldiers) die on this side and they die on the other side (Pakistan) as well… Mothers lose their sons there and here,” Gambhir said. “I think that is what matters… Because I have earlier also said this that the lives of the people (on both sides) are more important,” he adds.

While Shahid Afridi hailed Gambhir for his comments, he made an intervention and said that let Kashmiris decide what they want.

I often say that Kashmir should neither be given to India nor to Pakistan… Kashmiris should decide what they want,” he continues.

Meanwhile, India defeated Pakistan quite convincingly in Asia Cup Group A encounter. The Rohit Sharma-led side chased 163 in 29 overs after a clinical bowling effort from the men in blues.
