NEW DELHI: Former Indian cricketer Shikhar Dhawan unleashed a blistering response to Pakistan’s ceasefire violation just hours after a mutual truce was agreed upon.

Virender Sehwag, Yuzvendra Chahal, and Rahul Tewatia also criticised Pakistan’s duplicity, with Sehwag sharing a stinging Hindi proverb that likened Pakistan’s actions to something inherently incorrigible.
