Former Indian cricketer and renowned commentator Irfan Pathan incurred the wrath of Pakistan fans after his cryptic post on Monday.
After India lost the five-match T20I series against West Indies 3-2 in Florida on Sunday, Pathan posted an update on X, formerly known as Twitter, which many believed was an indirect dig at Pakistan.
It must be noted that Pakistan will face India during the upcoming Asia Cup on September 2 in Kandy, Sri Lanka.
However, Pakistan cricket fans hit back at Pathan’s post soon after it was shared on the microblogging website.
A young Indian side, which didn’t have the services of many of its big names, fought back from 0-2 down in the five-match series but crashed to an eight-wicket loss at Lauderhill on Sunday with opener Brandon King helping West Indies chase down the victory target with 85 not out.
Suryakumar Yadav contributed 61 off 45 balls but had little support from the middle and lower order as India reached 165-9 in 20 overs.
The West Indies reached 171-2 in 18 overs with Nicholas Pooran (47) providing support to King.
