‘Itna jaldi to meri wife ka mood…’: Pathan’s dig at Perth pitch

During the first Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Perth, the pitch drastically changed from Day 1 to Day 2. Former Indian all-rounder Irfan Pathan humorously compared the pitch’s rapid transformation to his wife’s mood swings. The grassy surface, initially favoring fast bowlers, developed cracks, reducing movement and contributing to Australia’s collapse for 104 runs in their first innings.
