The talented all-rounder also knows how to take out those who are trying to troll his country and team. Due to this kind of combative personality, he is so popular on social media platforms. He recently did the same by taking potshots at Pakistani players for trolling his country.
Irfan Pathan gave it back to Pakistani fans for trolling the Indian team
On their month-long Caribbean trip, the Indian team put on a strong showing, winning both the Test and ODI series. Yet because of difficulties in the shortest format, they ultimately lost the T20I series. It also includes the pivotal game that gave the West Indies their first series victory against India since 2007.
Congratulations to the West Indies team on a well-deserved series win! Team India must reflect on this defeat, as losing to a lower-ranked team is indeed worrisome. #INDvWI
