Irfan Pathan teases Sourav Ganguly after spotting a huge error on eve of 'Dada's' birthday

After Mahinder Singh Dhoni's birthday yesterday, the cricket world is celebrating the special day of another former captain of India. Sourav Ganguly, who took India to significant heights under his leadership, has turned 51 today and on the occasion dropped a video on his social media containing stills of his playing days. While the ex-president of BCCI is known to have a shrewd eye for detail, this time he made a little error. Ganguly's former bowling spearhead Irafan Pathan pointed out the inaccuracy in the moving visual in a comical way and might have left many rolling over the floor.

Wishes have been pouring in on the red-letter-day of Sourav Ganguly. However, before the spree began, the birthday boy himself took to social media and delivered a post that made fans nostalgic. The visuals brought back memories of the time when Ganguly used to rule the pitch. While the post was perfect in every way based on the message it carried, there contained a blemish that was observed by Irfan Pathan.

Irfan Pathan spots himself in "Dadi's" video

In the 1.21-minute brief video, several of Ganguly's pictures were compiled, highlighting some of the iconic moments of his legendary career. But in the short visual, there came a split second when it was not the protagonist that was showcased, rather a misunderstood version of him came to the screen. It was none other than Irfan Pathan.
