Cricketer Shahid Afridi lashed out at fans at Karachi airport after his three-year-old daughter was hurt in a crush of autograph hunters, eye-witnesses and television reports said Friday. The 32-year-old former captain lost his temper and hit fans who had descended on the airport to greet members of the Asia Cup winning national side, apparently after his daughter Ajwa was hurt.
“Afridi’s reaction was natural as dozens of fans circled him and hurt his daughter. I still love him and he is just like my brother,” fan Gul Rehman, who was hit several times by the allrounder, later told media. Television footage showed Afridi, wearing an orange t-shirt and jeans, striking Rehman and other fans. Afridi later said he did not want to hurt anyone but lost his temper. “There was no security for players and it’s usual that fans come and seek autographs but this time they were out of control and hurt my daughter on which I lost my temper,” Afridi told reporters.

What a darn shameful nation we have become. No wonder our stars have to arrive secretly. Gul Rehman should have had an Afridi bat on his head the stupid idiot. He got lucky he just got a couple of slaps. C*&^%a. The guy is coming home after winning the Asia cup and is greeted by his baby daugher – and you pounce on him and hurt her?? Where was security???? Is there any such thing in Pak???
which father would not do the same to the crowd of junglees who do not have the manners to aproach anyone
I agree with you Afia. Just saw the clip. The people went absolutely out of control! Afridi was right!
When you know that it is going to rowdy and crowdy, when did he let his daughter come to the airport? Reacting the way he did is probably acceptable due to the circumstances but why was she there?
Anyway he shuld have controlled his anger.
Afrid is captain all ODi matchs
Because Asians don't have a concept of forming a line or do anything in a civilized manners such indents will happen,Pakistanis,Indians and all Asians act like animals.I don't blame Afridi.
Your generalizing it by bringing in the word 'Asians'.
Nothing justifies this behavior.
