Both Harbjahan and Yuvraj were extensively criticised on social media for supporting Afridi and his NGO’s work amid Covid-19 crisis. In a tweet earlier this week, Yuvraj wrote that he is supporting Afridi and his foundation to help out the needy affected by COVID-19 pandemic.

“These are testing times, it’s time to lookout for each other specially the ones who are lesser fortunate. Lets do our bit, I am supporting @SAfridiOfficial & @SAFoundationN in this noble initiative of covid19. Pls donate on http://donatekarona.com #StayHome @harbhajan_singh,” Yuvraj said in a tweet.

Best wishes to you with your noble endeavours with @YOUWECAN #DonateKaroNa,” the post read.
