Former cricketer Irfan Pathan is currently part of the India Champions squad in the World Championship of Legends (WCL) 2025, but it's not just his on-field game making headlines—his off-field wit has also gone viral.
The Viral Video: Irfan’s Funny ReactionAfter India Champions faced an 88-run defeat against South Africa on July 22, Irfan’s family came to meet him. In a light-hearted moment caught on camera, Irfan said:
“She is my sister-in-law, but I have only one wife.”
His comment was met with laughter from those around him. The viral video, widely circulated on Instagram and X (formerly Twitter), shows Irfan handling the moment with grace and humor as fans and family gathered for selfies.
A Glimpse into Irfan Pathan’s Personal LifeIrfan married Safa Baig in 2016 in a private ceremony in Saudi Arabia. Safa, a former model from Jeddah with roots in Hyderabad, has kept a relatively low public profile since marriage. The couple shares a son.
WCL 2025: India Champions’ Tough StartTeam India Champions had a disappointing start in the WCL after their July 20 match vs. Pakistan was cancelled. Against South Africa, Irfan bowled one over conceding 10 runs and scored only 10 runs while batting. His brother Yusuf Pathan is also in the squad.
