Chandigarh, February 16

Pakistani journalist has been brutally trolled for predicting selling price of Pakistan pacer Shaheen Afradi in IPL. Ihtisham Ul Haq, on Sunday said had Shaheen been in fray for the auction, he would have been sold for a whooping Rs200 crore.

“If, Shaheen Shah Afridi was in #IPLAuction. He would’ve gone for 200 crores”, the journalist tweeted

In no time, the post got viral and people could not resist schooling the scribe.

The much anticipated IPL tournament is scheduled to be played from April 2. Pakistani players are barred from playing the IPL tournament after political relations between the two nations turned sour amid 2008 Mumbai terror attack.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
