IrfanPathan In Love At Ranji Trofi

VADODARA: In what turned out to be an eventful day for India discard Irfan Pathan, the pacer was left to face an inquiry by match referee for arguing with fans during his side's Ranji Trophy match against Uttar Pradesh, besides getting hugged by a female admirer.

Pathan, who had a good day on the field picking up five wickets on Tuesday, went out of the ground during the match apparently to argue with fans who were shouting out his name in the parking area.

Match referee Rajendra Singh Jadeja said he would investigate Pathan's actions and submit a report to the BCCI after speaking to Pathan and the umpires.

Some fans had got into an argument with Pathan's driver near the ground. Pathan rushed out on hearing about the incident, Baroda Cricket association sources said.

He argued with the fans there before a female admirer all of a sudden caught hold of his collar and asked him to dance with her.

She was immediately separated from the pacer and escorted away.

Pathan, on his part, refused to talk on the twin incidents. "I will talk later," was his curt reply when asked for a comment.
