Irfan Pathan, Pakistan fans (Image Credit: Twitter)
Former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan became the talk of the town for his tweet on August 14. Apparently, he congratulated West Indies for their T20I series win against India. The Caribbean side won the fifth T20I and won the series by 3-2. However, at the time, they were leading the series by 2-0. The Men In Blue managed to make a comeback in the third and fourth games to level the series.
However, for the first time ever, India lost a T20I series on August 13. This loss has attracted a lot of criticism from the fans. Meanwhile, Pathan took to Twitter and wrote "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," Irfan tweeted.

In reply, the two-time World Champion took to Twitter and wrote 'Begaani Shadi mein Abdulla deewana… #sunday #padosi.' He tried to imply that Pakistan fans shouldn't celebrate India's loss as the Green Brigade isn't playing any competitive game at this point.
This is how Twitter reacted
Your king Babar's team literally gets fcuked in every SENA test series exactly the way Arshdeep did on 1st ball in T20 WC & still Farid has audacity to talk about test cricket🤷
