As the World Cup 2023 is near, all the teams have announced their final squads for the mega event, and some teams are making their way to India. Archrivals Pakistan also landed in India for the mega event, and India’s former all-rounder, Irfan Pathan, gave an amazing reaction and sent a warm welcome to the Pakistani team through his social media post.
Pakistan arrived in India on Wednesday in Hyderabad, and the welcome was just amazing for the Indian fans. It was 2012-13 when the Pakistani team last came to India for a bilateral series, and now, after almost ten years, they are again in India.
According to some cricket experts and former players, Pakistan is one of the best teams in the tournament and has a chance to win the World Cup in 2023. They have almost all the boxes checked, but still, they have some problems with their team. Their prime bowlers are ruled out of the tournament, and their spin bowlers are also out of form, but they are still capable of winning the tournament.
In his Twitter post, Irfan Pathan gave a sweet welcome to the Pakistani team for the World Cup 2023, and he feels India is the best host.
“Hamari mehman Nawazi se surprise hai kaafi log. We are the best hosts in every field of life, not just cricket. That’s how we are as a nation and people. All the countries that came to play the World Cup will have the most memorable tournament.” He wrote on his post.”
This was a great gesture from the former Indian player. Pakistani players and teams also appreciated the love and affection they got from Indian people. Some players also posted stories and said thank you to India for showering them with love.
