Former Pakistan pacer Mohammad Amir stated that if Pakistan reaches the ICC World Cup 2023 semi-finals and defeats India, the 31-year-old will dance like former Indian cricketer Irfan Pathan.
After Pakistan’s World Cup 2023 defeat to Afghanistan, Irfan Pathan danced with Rashid Khan, and videos of their dance became popular on social media.
In response to a video that sparked criticism of Irfan Pathan on social media, the age-old rivalry between India and Pakistan once again took center stage.
During Geo News’ program ‘Harna Manaa Hai,’ a user posed a question to Abdul Razzaq, inquiring whether Pakistan had a chance of defeating India in the semi-finals or if the team would face another low score like 192 runs.
Abdul Razzaq replied, emphasizing that Pakistan’s first challenge was reaching the semi-finals of the World Cup, as many other teams seemed to prefer Pakistan not making it that far.
He also expressed his bewilderment at Indian cricketers celebrating Pakistan’s loss to Afghanistan, questioning whether their celebrations were about cricket or something more personal.
In response to Abdul Razzaq’s comments, Mohammad Amir made a promise, vowing to dance just like Irfan Pathan did when Afghanistan defeated Pakistan if Pakistan reached the semi-finals and defeated India.
Host Tabish Hashmi then offered a humorous comment, suggesting that Amir didn’t need to replicate Pathan’s dance and proposing another way to celebrate. Amir confidently stated that his dance would be better.
Former cricketer Imad Wasim added to the conversation, expressing his desire for Pakistan to beat India in the T20 World Cup semi-finals, drawing parallels to their victory over India in the 2021 T20 World Cup.
The conversation among these former cricketers revolved around their shared aspiration for Pakistan to emerge victorious against India in the T20 World Cup semi-finals.
It’s important to note that Pakistan remains in contention for a spot in the final four, contingent on their ability to defeat New Zealand and England in their remaining matches, while also relying on other match results to go their way.
