Former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi has taken a huge jibe at ex-India all-rounder Irfan Pathan, totally dismissing his recall of a plane incident during India’s 2006 tour of Pakistan.

Pathan had a furious dispute with Afridi on a trip from Karachi to Lahore around a month ago, according to Lallantop. On the Lallantop show, Pathan claimed Afridi ruffled his hair, called him a "kid," and used aggressive language when confronted.

Pathan also said that Afridi went silent after being mocked in front of his teammate, Abdul Razzaq, during the incident.

Afridi's statement surfaced online after two videos of him on a TV show went viral. Afridi rejected Pathan's recollection of the conversation and mentioned Abdul Razzaq in his statement.

“Abdul Razzaq said these are lies, there was no conversation about dog meat,” Afridi said on Samaa TV.

The former Pakistan captain further challenged Pathan to address him directly.

“Main usko mard manta hu jo saamne kadha ho k baat kare (I consider him a man who says things face to face and looks me in the eye). He can keep talking behind my back. I can only respond if he says it on my face, what should I respond to this lie,” Afridi remarked.

“I think he’s trying to prove that he is a great Indian and how I’m against Pakistani’s. Poor guy, he’ll spend his entire life proving how great an Indian he is,” he said.

Furthermore, Afridi stated that Irfan Pathan was lucky to play for India when he did, as they lacked proper pacers, and he managed to have a career, bowling medium pace.

"I was happy when Irfan was new and came for the Pakistan tour as a Muslim representing India. He should be thankful that India lacked pacers in that era and bowlers with a speed of 120-125 got a chance to play,” Afridi concluded.
