Pathan quickly reminded Pakistan's arch-rivals that winning and losing was part of the game, but Pakistan lacked "Grace."

Padosiyon jeet ati jaati rehti hai, lekin GRACE apke bas ki baat nahi hai.

Pathan claimed that this tweet was not for the Men in Green but was for the disrespectful Pakistan fans.
And this is not for the player. NEVER.

This was when a swarm of Pakistan fans appeared in the mentions of Pathan's tweet to inform the former Indian cricketer that they and their team had been "graceful" on and off the field.

A lot of respect and admiration for you as a player but grace is a two way street, as a professional no doubt you get trolled, and your experience may not be pleasant, though to generalize a whole nation is low, all you do is embolden trolls on both sides to abuse at each other. https://t.co/DguOtZgbdO

Pakistan batter Imran Nazir also replied to Pathan's tweet, saying, “You would have been saddest to see the behavior of some of Pak fans at the ground after the win."
