Former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan has once again stirred social media. His most recent tweet appears to be directed towards Pakistan cricket fans, causing a buzz in the cricketing world. While Pathan refrained from naming anyone directly, it’s strongly implied that his target were the Pakistani cricket enthusiasts who celebrated India’s recent 2-3 T20I series loss to West Indies.
The Indian team clinched victory in the Test and ODI series during their month-long Caribbean tour but struggled in the shortest format. Despite bouncing back to win the subsequent two matches, India couldn’t secure the series win as they lost the decider. This marked West Indies’ first series victory over India since 2007.
Amidst India’s defeat, some Pakistan fans didn’t miss the opportunity to express their joy, prompting Pathan’s reaction. He tweeted, “Begaani Shadi mein Abdulla Deewana… #sunday #padosi,” seemingly echoing his thoughts on the situation.

Pathan trolled Pakistan fans post India’s loss to Australia in WTC 2023
Notably, this wasn’t the first time that Irfan Pathan, a prominent former pacer for India, has taken jibes at neighbouring cricket fans. After India’s loss to Australia in the World Test Championship final last month.
“Suddenly all the padosis are entering my timeline with happiness cos Team India lost the WTC final. I was so right about them,” Pathan had tweeted back then.

Since his retirement, Irfan Pathan has actively embraced the role of a commentator. On the other hand, India’s upcoming appearances include a limited-overs series against Ireland, followed by the much-anticipated Asia Cup. The cricketing world awaits to see if Pathan’s unique tweets continue to be the voice of his candid opinions or not. As we all look forward to the upcoming matches, Pathan’s tweets serve as a reminder of the passion and emotions that even former cricketers bring to the game.
