New Delhi: Like every Indian cricket fan, Irfan Pathan too was thrilled after India's crushing win in the Antigua Test against the West Indies.
Having been part of the Indian cricket set up for over a decade now, the all-rounder has plenty of friends in the Test squad.
After Virat Kohli and co went up 1-0 in the four-match series, Irfan took to social micro-blogging site Twitter to congratulate the team and praise the key performers.

Reacting to the Baroda cricketer's congratulatory message to coach Anil Kumble, a user made a rather unsavoury remark.
The 31-year-old's response though was remarkable just like one of his late inswinging deliveries.
@JrYoungmonk appreciating others for their good work requires heart which u good for nothing won't understand

Irfan was part of the Indian Premier League with MS Dhoni's Rising Pune Supergiants.
Dhoni was severely criticized for not making good use of the versatile cricketer during the tournament.
Irfan still harbors hopes of making a comeback in the Indian side at least in the T20 format.
