Sarfaraz Ahmed and Shaheen Afridi have made up so it's time for Twitter to stop fighting

Sarfaraz Ahmed and Shaheen Afridi
Shaheen Afridi and Sarfaraz Ahmed's 'clash' on the pitch has been resolved with mutual respect and wishing each other the best and Twitter can finally rest. The two took to social media to publicly move beyond the on-field misunderstanding, a common sight in sports and competition in general.

Earlier this week, during a PSL game between the Lahore Qalandars and Quetta Gladiators, former captain Ahmed and pacer Afridi found themselves at odds. Afridi's fiery bouncer hit Ahmed's helmet and the two had a high tempered exchange at the non-striker's end. Following the incident, a debate began on social media about respect.

Some believed Afridi had nothing to be sorry for, as his delivery was a perfectly legal one and an important one in a fast bowler's handbook. Others argued that whether the delivery was legal or not, the 21-year-old should have been more respectful to his senior and once captain.

Taking to social media on Thursday, Afridi called Ahmed the pride of Pakistan, saying, "He was and will always remain a captain for me." And about the incident he added, "Whatever happened in the game that day was heat of the moment."

Reflecting on his behaviour, he said, "I should have stayed quiet in respect of him". He said he always respects his senior and wished Ahmed the best of luck.

Ahmed received the tweet with an open heart, saying, "It’s all good bro. Whatever happened on the field it should stay on the field."

Calling Afridi a "star of Pakistan," Ahmed said he was like a younger brother to him and wished him the best as well.

We're glad that all is well and this heartwarming exchange is definitely reassuring. With social media as loud as ever, it has demonstrated its ability to spread hate and create differences that weren't there and it's reassuring to see the two moving beyond all the chatter and settling their minute differences the way they should in a competition.

Tesla pulls games on moving car screens after US safety probe

Image
Electric carmaker Tesla Inc will stop allowing video games to be played on vehicle screens while its cars are moving, the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said on Thursday. The move follows an announcement by the NHTSA on Wednesday that it had opened a formal safety investigation on 580,000 Tesla vehicles sold since 2017 over the automaker's decision to allow games to be played on the front center touchscreen while they are in motion. This functionality, referred to as “Passenger Play,” may distract the driver and increase the risk of a crash, the NHTSA has said. Tesla has informed the NHTSA that a software update will lock the "Passenger Play" feature and make it unusable when the vehicle is in motion, a spokesperson for the agency said in a statement. "The NHTSA constantly assesses how manufacturers identify and safeguard against distraction hazards that may arise due to faults, misuse, or intended use of convenience technologies, including i

Sania Mirza to quit tennis this year

Image
Indian former doubles world number one Sania Mirza said on Wednesday she will retire from tennis at the end of this season with injuries taking their toll. It came after the 35-year-old, regarded as her country's greatest women's tennis player, bowed out of the Australian Open in the first round with her partner Nadiia Kichenok of Ukraine. “I have decided this will be my last season. I'm taking it week by week, not sure if I can last the season, but I want to,” she told press in Melbourne, in comments later confirmed to AFP by her father. “I still feel I can play well, go deep into tournaments and all that. But beyond this season, I don't see my body do it either. It's beat.” Mirza, who has won six Grand Slam doubles titles, is paired with America's Rajeev Ram in the mixed doubles at the Australian Open. They play on Thursday in the first round. Mirza, who is married to former Pakistan cricket captain Shoaib Malik, last won a women's doubles title at

Petrol may go up by Rs25, HSD by Rs40

Image
The federal government is mulling over a plan to cut subsidies on petroleum products in phases -- Rs25 per litre on petrol and Rs40 per litre on high speed diesel (HSD) in the first one -- in a bid to reduce the volume of the mounting price differential claims. The prices of petrol and high speed diesel (HSD) will jump up to Rs195 per litre and Rs230 per litre respectively, if the federal government withdraws all the subsidies on them at once. The subsidies on petroleum products continue to swell because of higher global oil prices and depreciation of the local currency against the US dollar that may lead to a higher budget deficit. In addition, the government is also facing problems of balance of payment and wants to avail the International Monetary Fund (IMF) bailout package. Sources said that government is currently giving a subsidy of Rs29.60 per litre on petrol. This volume may rise by Rs45.14 per litre if the government continues to keep the oil prices unchanged from the 16
