    Irfan Pathan gave a savage response to Waqar Younis ‘Big relief for India’ tweet on Shaheen Afridi’s injury

    Irfan Pathan gave a savage response to Waqar Younis: Team India announced their squad for the upcoming Asia Cup and saw them leave out Jasprit Bumrah and Harshal Patel due to injury. Surely fans felt that it would make the Indian side weak. This is a sad event especially when they would be facing Pakistan in the first game. While Harshal is suffering from a side strain, Bumrah suffered a back issue.

    However, days later, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) announced that their pacer Shaheen Afridi has suffered an injury and will be ruled out of the entire Asia Cup tournament and the T20 International series against England.

    This news saw the Pakistani fans take to Twitter and express their opinion. Among these fans was Pakistan legend Waqar Younis who tweeted targeting the Indian team in his Twitter post.

    Pakistan legend Waqar Younis’ tweet targeted the Indian team in his Twitter post on Shaheen Afridi’s injury. This post did not go down well with fans. Shaheen suffered a knee injury in the Sri Lanka Test series that has ruled him out of the entire Asia Cup tournament and the T20I series against England. But Waqar showed concerns with Shaheen’s absence in the India game in their Asia Cup opener.

    “Shaheen’s injury Big relief for the Indian top order batsmen. Sad we won’t be seeing him in #AsiaCup2022 Get fit soon Champ @iShaheenAfridi,” Waqar posted on Twitter moments when Pakistan suffered a huge setback before their Asia Cup campaign where they will be taking on India in their opener in Dubai on August 28.

    Shaheen had played an important role in Pakistan’s historic 10-wicket win against India in the 2021 T20 World Cup tie. He successfully dismissed openers KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma in the first three overs before dismissing then skipper Virat Kohli.

    India’s great Irfan Pathan came up with a savage response to the former fast bowler. In response to Waqar’s post, Irfan posted on Twitter on Sunday, writing, “It’s a relief of other teams that Bumrah and Harshal aren’t playing this Asia cup!”

    India’s great Irfan Pathan did not take his post well and came up with a savage response to the former fast bowler. 

    Talking about the Asia Cup 2022, the Indian fast bowling attack will be having Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Avesh Khan, and Arshdeep Singh. Deepak Chahar is on the standby list.
