But this isn’t the first time that Pakistani fans have targeted Irfan Pathan. Back in November 2022, when Pakistan managed to reach the T20 World Cup final by thrashing New Zealand, fans attacked Pathan on Twitter and trolled him left, right, and center. However, Pathan kept his cool and responded gracefully with a touch of humor. He reminded everyone that grace isn’t limited to winning or losing on the field. He wrote:
“Padosiyon jeet ati jaati rehti hai, lekin GRACE apke bas ki baat nahi hai,”
