Pakistan Cricket Fans Lash Out at Irfan Pathan for Celebrating Afghanistan’s Win on Pitch

After Afghanistan’s historic win over Pakistan in the World Cup 2023, former Indian all-rounder Irfan Pathan showed his joyful celebration with Afghanistan spinner Rashid Khan at Chepauk Stadium in Chennai.

Irfan Pathan, currently working as a broadcaster, joined Rashid on the field to dance to some Bhangra beats, and later, he posted a message for him on the social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter).

Irfan said, “Rashid Khan fulfilled his promise, and I fulfilled mine.”

Moreover, some people are not happy with Irfan Pathan’s act, and they trolled him on social media platform X.

Here are some of the reactions:

It must be remembered that this is Afghanistan’s first-ever victory against Pakistan in ODIs and also their second win in the 2023 World Cup. They previously defeated the defending champions, England, in this mega event.

Afghanistan comfortably chased down the challenging total of 283 runs, losing only 2 wickets. The Green Shirts struggled to take wickets and apply pressure on the Afghan batters, ultimately failing to defend the total.

After a disappointing defeat to Afghanistan in the World Cup, the Men in Green are still standing in 5th place on the points table with 4 points. Afghanistan has jumped to the 6th place with this win, also accumulating 4 points.
