Irfan Pathan has slammed Pakistan for misusing the religion of Islam and propagandising controversies, while he also took a massive dig at former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi, calling him a 'badtameez aadmi' ahead of the Asia Cup 2025.
The rivalry between India and Pakistan is not limited to their politicians or their armies; it has spread like wildfire, and several personalities have started voicing their disgust with the neighboring nation ever since the Pahalgam attacks.
Indian star Irfan Pathan's latest remarks have been a constant box office, as the cricketer has not minced his words while stating his opinions as well as facts. Be it a direct dig at MS Dhoni or remarks over stretching Virat Kohli's backing over a weak form. His recent statement is for the neighbours across the border.
Irfan Pathan slams Pakistan over misusing 'Islam' and Muslims
In another interview with The Lallantop, he has resorted to his candid self, this time targeting the Pakistani cricketer Shahid Afridi as well as the nation itself.
During the chat, Irfan Pathan launched an unfiltered attack, claiming the Pakistanis feel they have the responsibility of the entire Muslim clan of the world on their shoulders.
"Ek toh Pakistaniyo ko na ye lagta hai ki saare jo musalman hai duniya ke unki jo zimmedaari hai unhone le rakhi hai (One thing about Pakistanis is that they feel as if they've taken responsibility for all the Muslims in the world)," Irfan Pathan said in a chat with The Lallantop.
"Ye unki galat fehmi hai (That's their misconception). Jo mujhe lagta hai yaar thoda thehro, apne aap pe thoda phle dhyan do (What I feel is - hold on a bit, first focus on yourselves)." "I've felt this at a personal level."
Irfan Pathan insults Shahid Afridi
After the serious allegations made against Pakistan, he went on to take another direct dig, this time at the former Pakistan all-rounder, Shahid Afridi. Afridi and India's war has been reignited after the former Pakistani skipper made several provocative statements.
Irfan Pathan recalled Afridi insulting his lineage, as he mentioned an incident from his playing days.
"....when I was new and young in the team, there was an interview of Afridi with Harsha Bhogle," Pathan said. "Afridi had said, 'I am the real Pathan; he is a fake Pathan.'"
"Badtameez aadmi hai (He is an ill-mannered man). Mujhe laga ki aap sirf mere baare mein nahi bol rahe ho, mere waalid ke baare mein bhi baat kar rahe (I felt he wasn't just talking about me but also about my father, which he shouldn't have done)," he added.
Pathan recites the tale of avenging Afridi for insulting his lineage
Pathan recited after the disgusting take on his ancestry; he held a grudge against the Pakistani all-rounder, and instead of answering him verbally, he decided to avenge the insult with staunch performances and hence dismissed him a total of 11 times.
"Dismissed him 11 times. I have a different kind of fight with him [Afridi]," claimed Pathan.
"Toh jab jab mere haath mein ball tha, mere jahan mein yeh tha ki isko toh main out kar dunga (So whenever I had the ball in my hand, my only thought was that I would dismiss him)."
"Maine out karke usko gyara baar bata chuka hoon ki asli Pathan kaun hai (By dismissing him 11 times, I've shown him who the real Pathan is).
"Bade bade maukon mein out kiya hai - series decider mein, World Cup final mein (I got him out on big occasions - in a series decider, in a World Cup final)," he concluded.
