In that series, Irfan Pathan bowled at his best and made Pakistan batsmen dance to the rhythm of his swing bowling. Moreover, he took a three-for in the second and final match of that series. Overall, he bowled at an economy rate of well below six in every game.

His female fan recollected India’s win and her encounter with the bowling all-rounder. The fan took to her Twitter handle and shared a series of tweets while talking about the instance that happened in Abu Dhabi. She said that in one of the games played in Abu Dhabi, the security was pretty relaxed. As per her, after the match presentation, the gates were open and anyone could go and walk in that area.

In the next tweet, she said that when she requested everyone to let her meet Pathan, then everybody refused for the same. Hence, she screamed for two to three times before her favourite player came out to meet the fans. Afterwards, Irfan called her separately, gave autograph and took a picture.

She also shared a clip on her account in which the former Indian all-rounder can be spotted giving autographs to his fans.

Here is the tweet:
