A die-hard Irfan Pathan fan shares a lovely birthday wish for her 'first celeb crush'

All-round cricketer Irfan Pathan was one of the brightest prospects of Indian cricket when he forayed into cricket at the highest level in 2003. He had the ability to make the ball talk and had the attribute of ruffling the feathers of the best batsmen in the business. His fandom was at the peak during that time. The 34-year-old also went on to do well in Pakistan with the leather in hand.

The Gujarat-born cricketer was no mug with the bat either and played a number of handy knocks for his national team. He was also adjudged as the Player of the Match in the final of the 2007 World T20 in South Africa, which India won by beating arch-rivals Pakistan. He played his last international match in the 2012 World T20 in Sri Lanka against South Africa.

The supporter pours her wishes on Irfan

He is now set to represent Jammu and Kashmir as the mentor cum player in the upcoming edition of the Ranji Trophy, which gets underway next month. In the meantime, Irfan celebrated his 34th birthday a couple of days ago and he was showered with praises from the cricketing fraternity. Today, an ardent supporter by the name of Tamanna Wahi wished the veteran.

She also didn’t mince any words in saying that Irfan was his first celebrity crush. Furthermore, Tamanna, a radio presenter, remembered how she was disappointed when she wasn’t allowed to watch Irfan play in Abu Dhabi. The supporter mentioned that her mother thereafter made sure that her daughter doesn’t end up disappointed.

She took to Twitter and wrote, “My 1st celeb crush ever was @IrfanPathan & my mom had not allowed me to go to the stadium to watch his match in AbuDhabi coz of which I was upset & to make up for it she once arranged a min short call with him. Still 1 of the best surprises ever! Happy belated bday @IrfanPathan,”
