Cricket rivalries are not limited to the field; they often extend to the digital world. The recent incident between former Indian cricketer Irfan Pathan and Pakistani skipper Babar Azam has sparked a frenzy on social media.
A clip of senior Pakistani sports journalist Naseem Rajput is making rounds on the social media in which he could be heard sharing the whole incident.
He said that Irfan Pathan approached Babar Azam to interview on behalf of Star Sports but the Pakistani skipper turned down the request.
This happened after the Pakistani batter had already refused the production team of the channel.
According to the Pakistani journalist, Babar Azam said that he would not give interviews to people who talk against his country.

Irfan Pathan became embroiled in a controversy when he joined Rashid Khan in a victory dance after Afghanistan's win over Pakistan.
Apart from it, he has been engaged in a constant social media war with trolls from across the border.
