‘Itni jaldi to meri wife ka mood’: Irfan Pathan’s cheeky comment on changing nature of Perth pitch goes viral

New Delhi: Former India player Irfan Pathan resorted to a hilarious take to give his verdict on the changing nature of the Perth pitch in just two days during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series opener. While the Perth Test strip proved out to be a favourite spot for the bowlers on the first day as 17 wickets fell on Friday in the Perth Test.

After India were all out for 150 runs, Australia too lost their 7 wickets when stumps were called on Day 1. On the opening day, the Perth surface was covered in grass with pacers of both thee sides enjoying a good movement and bounce but on the second day, the turf changed quickly. The movement from the surface became minimal as cracks slowly started appearing on the strip.

Pathan points put change in hilarious manner

The former Indian player was quick to point out the change in nature of the pitch and gave a hilarious touch to it which was loved by all the fans on social media.

“Itna jaldi to meri wife ka mood bhi change nahi hota jitni jaldi ye pitch badli hai (The way this pitch has changed, even my wife’s mood does not change so quickly),” Pathan wrote on X while commenting about the change in pitch.

Both the Indian openers, KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal joined hands to give India a solid century stand and put their team in the driving seat with a 200-plus lead at the day end. While Jaiswal was solid on 90, Rahul was firm at 62 as India reached 172/0, with a total lead of 218 runs against Australia. Both the batters proved too hot for the quality Aussie bowling, which failed to get even a single wicket in the entire two sessions of play on Saturday.
