— Irfan Pathan (@IrfanPathan)On Sunday (March 22), after the “Janta Curfew”, Irfan had urged people not to come out of their homes as if to celebrate India’s World Cup triumph. “Janta Curfew” was a big hit as people stay at their homes after Prime Minister Narendra Modi had appealed them to do so.
“When we won the World Cup in 2007 and 2011. That night whole country came out on the road and celebrated the victory. Don’t do that tonight. We haven’t won the battle just yet against #coronavirus,” Irfan tweeted.
