This interview of Irfan is once again going viral on which the former cricketer has responded to a fan.

Irfan Pathan does not reply to all the coming comments coming, but Irfan answered the question to the user and said, I and MS Dhoni will drink together. In this comment, Irfan Pathan has also mentioned Dhoni.
Irfan Pathan had revealed in an interview to Sports five years ago as to why he was suddenly shown the way out of Team India. On this, Irfan had said that during the series from Australia in 2008, Dhoni had said in an interview that Irfan is not bowling well. Pathan told that after hearing this, he spoke to Dhoni but Dhoni said that all this is not and all is going on according to the plan.
At the same time, Irfan had told in talks that, I do not have a habit of going to someone’s room and neither to talk about it. It is better not to speak sometimes in this time.
Wishing the seam king @ Mdshami11 a very happy birthday. Looking forward to see your bowling for India again soon. Have a great one. pic.twitter.com/1fUCtUN7Ki
