Pathan, who is on commentator duty at the Asia Cup 2022, met with Momin Saqib, the Pakistan fan who became viral for his reaction to Pakistan’s loss against India at the 2019 World Cup.

“Good to see you! 2006 me Pakistan ke khilaf aapne hat-trick li thi. Bhai kaise hain aap? Jo Pakistan-India ka Sunday ko match honna hai, uske baare me aapko kya lag raha hai (How are you Irfan? What do you think about Sunday’s game between India and Pakistan?)", asked Momin.

Pathan who looked assured of India’s win said that the upcoming match would be a repeat of the last one.

“Repeat hoga,” said Pathan.

“Wo ek baar ho gaya yaar, wo baar baar nahi hota (that was a fluke, it won’t happen every time),” Pathan went on to say further.

“Jo larko ka form nahi tha na ab form aa gaya hai (boys have regained their form),” concluded Irfan Pathan as fans around him cheered.

Notably, India defeated Pakistan by five wickets in the previous match at Asia Cup 2022.
