India celebrated its 70th Independence day on 15 August, while Pakistan celebrate it a day before on 14 August. Virat Kohli had donated a cricket bat for Afridi’s foundation and the former all-rounder recently thanked the India skipper.
The India team had also given Afridi a signed jersey on his retirement last April.
