After India’s loss to Australia in the ICC U19 Men’s Cricket World Cup 2024 final on Sunday, former Indian cricketer Irfan Pathan took to social media to express his frustration.
Pathan denounced the unsportsmanlike behavior and expressed his unhappiness with the negative responses he had received from some sectors, especially from Pakistan. He emphasized that such attitudes are a poor reflection of the psyche of such persons.
Despite their U19 team not making it to the final, keyboard warriors from across the border find pleasure in our youngsters’ defeat. This negative attitude reflects poorly on their nation’s mindset. #padosi

The failure of our young players brings joy to keyboard warriors from across the border, even though their U19 team did not advance to the final. This pessimistic outlook speaks poorly of their country.” Irfan posted on the social networking site X.
At the ICC U19 Men’s Cricket World Cup 2024 final at Benoni, Australia triumphed against India by 79 runs thanks to dominance in all three departments of the field.
Hugh Weibgen, the captain of Australia, made the wise decision to bat first after winning the toss. His team amassed a record-breaking 253/7, the greatest total in the history of the U19 World Cup.
Australia’s innings was driven by Harjas Singh’s fifty with important contributions from Weibgen, Harry Dixon, and Ollie Peak; Raj Limbani was India’s best bowler with stats of 3/38.
In response, India’s chase got off to a rough start, failing to gather momentum against a disciplined Australian bowling attack and losing important wickets early on. As Australia secured the victory in the 44th over, the target proved insurmountable despite a late surge from the valiant batsman Abhishek Murugan.
