The Indian cricket team gifted him the jersey following Afridi's retirement from all forms of cricket. "Thank you to you and the entire Indian team for a wonderful farewell gift @imVkohli. Respect superstar, hope to see you soon," Afridi wrote on his Twitter handle. 

Kohli had tweeted, "Shahid Bhai, best wishes, always a pleasure playing against you." The jersey — number 18 and Virat on it — has the signatures of Kohli, Ashish Nehra, Suresh Raina, Mohammed Shami, Ravindra Jadeja, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Ajinkya Rahane, Shikhar Dhawan, Ravichandran Ashwin and Hardik Pandya among others. 

The 37-year-old Afridi bid adieu to his 21-year-old international career in February when he announced his retirement from T20 cricket. He had already retired from Tests and ODI formats of the game.
