Colombo: Following India’s emphatic 61-run win over Pakistan in the T20 World Cup 2026, former Indian all-rounder Irfan Pathan took to social media to celebrate—and troll his neighboring rivals in signature style.
Pathan’s Viral Dance
Immediately after the match, Pathan posted a video on social media, dancing to the popular song “Afghan Jalebi” with a cheeky caption: “Neighbors, how was your Sunday?” The playful dig directly targeted Pakistani fans and quickly went viral, adding a humorous twist to India’s historic win. This isn’t the first time Pathan has celebrated in this manner; he has performed the same dance during previous Asia Cup and Champions Trophy matches, making it his trademark celebration.
India’s Dominance on the Field
The reason for Pathan’s exuberance was India’s commanding performance on the pitch. Despite a challenging surface, Ishan Kishan smashed 77 runs off just 40 balls, forming a vital 87-run partnership with Tilak Varma, which completely neutralized Pakistan’s spin attack. Chasing 176, Pakistan’s batting lineup crumbled under the lethal bowling of Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya, finishing all out for 114.
Historic T20 Record
With this victory, India improved its T20 World Cup record against Pakistan to an astonishing 8-1, reinforcing its dominance in the high-pressure fixture. Indian fans have widely shared Pathan’s “dance diplomacy” as a celebratory anthem, while Pakistani supporters have been left wincing at the playful taunt.
