“Cricket Doesn’t Stop for Anyone”
Following Team India’s victory in the India vs England (IND vs ENG) match at London’s Oval and the series draw, Irfan Pathan profusely praised the Indian team on social media and credited the players who were the heroes of the victory. However, in another post, Pathan made a statement that sparked a debate on social media. Pathan wrote, “This series reminds everyone once again that cricket doesn’t stop for anyone.”
Irfan Pathan Takes a Dig at Virat Kohli!
While Pathan didn’t name anyone in this post, his remark appears to have been directed towards Virat Kohli. Kohli had recently retired from Test cricket. Consequently, domestic and international cricket experts and former legendary players were saying that India would miss Kohli against England. However, those who lacked confidence in the Indian team before the series are now profusely praising Team India after their spectacular victory in the fifth Test and the series draw. Pathan’s social media post hinted at this, suggesting that the Indian team can win even without Kohli.
