Irfan Pathan vs Shahid Afridi: When Pathan Silenced Ex-Pakistan Star with Dog Meat Remark

The cricket rivalry between India and Pakistan has always been intense, not just on the field but sometimes off it as well. Former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan recently opened up about one such unforgettable incident with Pakistan’s legendary all-rounder Shahid Afridi. Irfan Pathan vs Shahid Afridi

Speaking to Lallantop, Pathan recalled a heated exchange from India’s 2006 tour of Pakistan that took place not in a stadium, but inside a flight from Karachi to Lahore. The story, both amusing and sharp, has now gone viral, reminding fans of the fiery personalities involved in the India vs Pakistan rivalry.

How It Started: Afridi Messed Up Pathan’s Hair

Pathan revealed that both Indian and Pakistani cricketers were traveling together on the same flight during the 2006 series. Out of nowhere, Afridi came up to him, placed his hand on his head, and messed up his hair. He then casually asked Pathan, “How are you, kid?” Irfan Pathan vs Shahid Afridi

Pathan, who was never one to back down, replied instantly, “Tu kab se mera baap ban gaya? (Since when did you become my father?)”

This response did not sit well with Afridi, who, according to Pathan, reacted angrily and hurled some abusive words at him. Coincidentally, Afridi’s seat was right next to Pathan’s, which only added fuel to the fire.

Abdul Razzaq’s Shocked Reaction

Sitting beside Pathan was another Pakistan all-rounder, Abdul Razzaq. In the middle of this tension, Pathan decided to lighten things up in his own cheeky style. Irfan Pathan vs Shahid Afridi

He asked Razzaq about the types of meat commonly eaten in Pakistan. Razzaq listed them one by one. Then, Pathan slyly asked, “Is dog meat also available here?” Irfan Pathan vs Shahid Afridi

Razzaq was stunned by the question and immediately said, “Hey Irfan, why are you saying this?” But the target of the remark, Afridi, was already listening carefully. Irfan Pathan vs Shahid Afridi

The Dog Meat Remark That Silenced Afridi

Pathan then hit back with a stinging one-liner: Irfan Pathan vs Shahid Afridi

“He (Afridi) must have eaten dog meat, that’s why he keeps barking.”

The line left everyone stunned, and Afridi was reportedly unable to say a word after that. Pathan added that had Afridi tried to respond, he was prepared to say again, “Look, he is barking once more.”

From that moment, Afridi stayed quiet throughout the flight. Irfan Pathan vs Shahid Afridi

Why Afridi Never Picked a Verbal Fight Again

Pathan concluded by saying that this incident taught Afridi a lesson. After the dog meat remark, Afridi realized he could not win against Pathan in a verbal battle. “That’s why he never said anything to me again,” Pathan revealed.

India vs Pakistan Rivalry Beyond Cricket

This episode adds yet another chapter to the rich history of India vs Pakistan clashes. Over the years, players from both sides have shared stories of heated banter, sledging, and off-field exchanges. For fans, these tales become as memorable as the on-field heroics. Irfan Pathan vs Shahid Afridi

Irfan Pathan’s story stands out because it shows how wit and presence of mind can sometimes silence even the most aggressive personalities. Afridi, known for his bold attitude, met his match in Pathan that day.

The 2006 Series in Context

The 2006 India tour of Pakistan was a high-stakes affair. Both teams were at their competitive best, and tensions were naturally high. While India had stars like Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar, and Irfan Pathan, Pakistan relied on experienced campaigners like Inzamam-ul-Haq, Younis Khan, Abdul Razzaq, and Shahid Afridi.

While fans remember the cricketing action from that series, Pathan’s off-field revelation has now added an extra layer of spice to those memories. Irfan Pathan vs Shahid Afridi

Social Media Reactions

As soon as Pathan’s story was shared online, it went viral. Fans praised him for his quick wit and fearlessness in standing up to Afridi. Many Indian fans celebrated the remark as a symbolic “win” in the Indo-Pak rivalry.

Some Pakistani fans, however, downplayed the story, saying it was just a lighthearted exchange blown out of proportion. Regardless, the incident has once again reminded cricket lovers of the spicy banter that often surrounds India-Pakistan cricket. Irfan Pathan vs Shahid Afridi

The Irfan Pathan vs Shahid Afridi flight incident from 2006 shows that cricket is not just about runs and wickets—it’s also about personalities, egos, and witty exchanges that fans never forget. Irfan Pathan vs Shahid Afridi

Pathan’s dog meat remark may have silenced Afridi that day, but it has given fans yet another unforgettable story from the fiery India vs Pakistan cricket rivalry.
