New Delhi, June 14 (SocialNews.XYZ) Former India batsman Gautam Gambhir wished former Pakistan skipper Shahid Afridi a speedy recovery from coronavirus. Afridi had earlier said on Twitter that he had tested positive for the deadly virus.

"But more than Afridi I want every person infected in my country to get well as soon as possible," he added.
