Irfan Pathan teaches some sense to an arrogant twitterati

Former India fast bowler Irfan Pathan, just like every other Indian cricket fan, was delighted after India’s thumping win over West Indies in the opening Test of at Antigua. Many cricketers including the like of the VVS Laxman and Sachin Tendulkar wished the team for their wonderful win.

India beat West Indies by an innings and 92 runs margin. Virat Kohli with his double century and Ravichandran Ashwin with his century and a seven-wicket haul along with Mohammad Shami’s skilful bowling performance helped India achieve the win.

However, the rather normal scenario where a former international cricketer wished the current national team for their achievement was ruined by a halfwit who made a comment which was nowhere connected to the whole matter.

A twitter user felt Irfan Pathan was intending to please people through his tweets and replied in the most unacceptable manner.

However, classy people are always classy. Pathan did not lose his cool and handled the situation perfectly. The 31-year-old’s response was remarkable just like one of his late in-swinging yorkers.

@JrYoungmonk appreciating others for their good work requires heart which u good for nothing won't understand

Twitter is a great place for cricketers to connect with their fans. People, unfortunately, sometimes take a wrong advantage of the direct access they have to connect with these cricketers and post unsavoury comments.

Pathan was last seen in action in the Indian Premier League this year. The seam bowling all-rounder was a part of the MS Dhoni-led Rising Pune Supergiants. Unfortunately, he played in only a handful of game.

The 31-year-old was in great form this domestic season for his side Baroda. he hopes to emulate those performances in the upcoming season as well as is seen focussing on his fitness.
