Just before the India vs Pakistan Asia Cup match in Dubai, former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan posted on social media, “Sri Lanka is the second best team in the Asia Cup so far.” The comment quickly went viral.
Fans See It as a Dig
Fans believed Pathan’s remark was aimed at Pakistan. This followed Pakistan captain Salman Ali Agha’s viral smirk in a press conference when asked if Afghanistan were Asia’s second-best team.
Timing Sparks Speculation
The post came just before the high-voltage match, making fans wonder if it was playful or strategic. Social media lit up with debates on whether it was mind games before the big clash.
India Face Tougher Test
India beat UAE comfortably in their opener, but Pakistan are a different challenge. With a powerful spin attack, the T20 World Cup champions can trouble any batting line-up, raising the stakes for India.
