Prominent personalities such as Indian singer Adnan Sami, Bollywood stars Sunil Shetty and Subhash Ghai, Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh, former South African cricketer Imran Tahir, and Afghanistan’s batting coach were present at the event.
Afghanistan has had an incredible World Cup campaign, winning four games. With one fewer match played, they are currently in control of their destiny as they are tied for the same number of points with Pakistan and New Zealand. Afghanistan will play their final match of the campaign on November 10 at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium against the formidable South African side, following their ongoing match against Australia.
Irfan Pathan Love to the Afghanistan team is evident.
Irfan Pathan’s fervent support of Afghanistan during their incredible campaign has made the 2023 World Cup memorable. At the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, after Afghanistan’s historic victory over Pakistan, Irfan Pathan and Rashid Khan danced in celebration. It was one of the most memorable and widely shared moments of the tournament.
Pathan’s love for the Afghanistan team is clear because, after their victories over Sri Lanka and the Netherlands, he kept showing his support by posting dance videos. He danced with Harbhajan Singh in the broadcaster’s studio following the victory over Sri Lanka, and he also uploaded a video of himself dancing to the “Afghani Mast Song.”
