Irfan dances with Rashid to fulfill his promise following Afghanistan’s historic victory over Pakistan

editor October 24, 2023

OCT 24, 2023 : Alongside star spinner Rashid Khan, former Indian all-rounder Irfan Pathan celebrated Afghanistan's incredible victory against Pakistan in the 2017 World Cup in style. Afghanistan stunned the crowd on Monday by winning their first-ever 50-over cricket match against Pakistan and their second unexpected victory in the World Cup. While the Afghanistan squad was celebrating, Rashid noticed Irfan providing commentary for the host broadcaster. After seeing one another, the two cricket players gave each other a tight hug and danced to celebrate their win.Irfan commented, "And I full filled mine," after sharing a video of the joyous occasion on Instagram. He also talked about keeping his word if Afghanistan won. I informed @rashid.khan19 that I would dance again after he assured me that they will win again." On Monday, Afghanistan upset their neighbours with a crushing eight-wicket loss on a sluggish Chennai surface, riding high on an impressive all-around performance in the field. Together with Rahmat Shah (77)* at No. 3, the opening duo of Rahmanullah Gurbaz (65) and Ibrahim Zadran (87) shone at the bat to enable Afghanistan record a historic victory. Following their humiliation by India, Pakistan's bowlers produced another lacklustre performance, putting no pressure on the Afghan batting while holding India to a respectable total of 283 on a difficult and slow-moving Chennai pitch. Afghanistan chased 283—a difficult score on a Chennai surface that offered variable bounce—and won by eight wickets with one over remaining. Afghanistan has now defeated two of cricket's biggest powers, Pakistan (the past world champions) and England (the current champions). Afghanistan's victory moved them up to sixth place in the standings. Pakistan, meanwhile, maintained their fifth-place finish with four points and a net run rate of -0.400.Next up for the flying Afghans is a match against Sri Lanka on October 30 at Pune's Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, which has a high scoring capacity.

Cop Stops Fan from Chanting ‘Pakistan Zindabad’ During Australia World Cup match in Bengaluru

OCT 21, 2023 : Social media users are going crazy over a video purportedly showing a Bengaluru police officer stopping a supporter from yelling "Pakistan Zindabad" during Pakistan vs. Australia in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. The 45-second video shows a cricket fan at M Chinnaswamy Stadium disputing with a policeman about why he isn't allowed to support his team, Pakistan, who is playing Australia. The individual is wearing a Pakistan cricket team jersey. Why is it acceptable to chant "Bharat Mata Ki Jai" but not "Pakistan Zindabad"? he queries. The policeman can be heard replying that while yelling "Pakistan Zindabad" is bad, singing "Bharat Mata Ki Jai" is okay."Not at all? The fan questioned the policeman, "I'm from Pakistan, and they're playing. What else should I say?" After that, the Pakistani fan pulled out his phone and asked the officer to record a message telling him that he was not permitted to say "Pakistan Zindabad." There was a lot of support for the Pakistani cricket team during their two warm-up and world cup matches in Hyderabad. The Babar Azam-led team's historic six-wicket victory over Sri Lanka, in which they chased down the biggest total in world cup history, was clearly supported. Social media users shared videos of the audience responding to the DJ's question about "Jeetega bhai jeetega" at the venue with cries of "Pakistan Jeetega." The experience of seeing people on social media applauding the Hyderabad crowd for their attitude even astonished Babar. Others urged locations where Pakistan is scheduled to perform throughout India to do likewise. When the Pakistani team arrived in India for the event last month, they were met with a lot of enthusiasm, and their players shared their joy on social media.
