Former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan responded to a fan who pointed finger at his bowling as a reason for his removal from the team. Pathan didn't like the way he got questioned for his bowling and he came up with strong words.

Before the conversation, Irfan replied to a Twitter user who tweeted how unfortunate it was for the all-rounder to get dropped despite having decent batting performance in his last appearance for India in all three formats.

Pathan replied, "If you are playing as an all-rounder n score 63 not out in a test match against the likes of Steyn n Morkel than it would turn out to be your last game." He felt unjustice was done with him.

That is when a fan tried to take the discussion to his bowling. “I think your bowling is the reason of you getting dropped not your batting,” the fan wrote.

Irfan wasn't happy and came up with facts that he got man of the match in a game before his last match. He also denied blaming former India coach Greg Chappell for his career-ending sooner than he expected.
