Fan criticizes Dhoni for Irfan Pathan’s early exit, Irfan Pathan responds with class
Back then, a fan expressed his frustration over the abrupt end to Irfan Pathan’s international career, blaming MS Dhoni and his management for the situation.
The fan remarked,
“Every time I see Irfan Pathan in these leagues, I curse MS & his management even more… I can’t believe he played his last white ball game at just 29… A perfect no. 7 that any team would love to have. But India chose to play Jaddu, even Binny.”
In response, Irfan Pathan gracefully replied on Twitter, “Don’t blame anyone. Thank you for the love,” a comment that quickly went viral on social media.
