The Afghanistan cricket team gets a great 7-wicket victory against Sri Lanka in the ODI World Cup 2023 on October 30 at the Maharashtra Cricket Association in Pune. Speaking about the game, Sri Lanka could only pile up 241 runs before getting all-out; however, the Shahidi-led side chased down the total with 28 balls to spare in the game to get their third victory in the ongoing event.

However, following their great win, former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan once again rocked the floor with his dancing moves on the famous Bollywood song ‘Afghan Jalebi.’ In addition, former India spinner Harbhajan Singh has joined Pathan in the Star Sports Studio. Notably, both cricketers turned commentators were seen dancing in the studio. The video of their dancing moves has been widely shared on social media, gathering a lot of attention.

Meanwhile, this is not the first time Indian cricketers have celebrated Afghanistan’s victory. Notably, well-renowned commentator Irfan Pathan was seen dancing at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chepauk when Afghanistan thrashed Babar Azam and Co. by eight wickets to win their game. However, Afghanistan spinner Mujeeb-ur-Rahman also shared the clip of Indian experts dancing and expressed gratitude to them for their support.

“Once again, @IrfanPathan is dancing in celebration of Afghanistan’s victory! @harbhajan_singh Special thanks, once more, for the support,” Mujeeb-ur-Rahman posted.
