On the other hand, Kohli, who is preparing for the upcoming 11th edition of the Indian Premier League, openly said he doesn't support former Pakistani cricketer's views.
"My interests are always for the benefit of our nation. If anything opposes it, I would never support it for sure,"Kohli stressed.
On Tuesday, Afridi took to his Twitter handle tweeted: "Appalling and worrisome situation ongoing in the Indian Occupied Kashmir. Innocents being shot down by oppressive regime to clamp voice of self determination & independence. Wonder where is the @UN & other int bodies & why aren't they making efforts to stop this bloodshed?"
Three Indian Army soldiers and thirteen militants of militant outfits including four civillians were killed in encounters across south Kashmir on Sunday.
