Irfan Pathan's Reply To Fan Blaming MS Dhoni For All-Rounder's Short White-Ball Career Is Gold
When Irfan Pathan emerged in the Indian cricket scene, everybody was impressed by the left-arm pacer's prowess to surprise the batters with his swing. He made his international debut in a Test match against Australia in Adelaide in 2003 and soon rose to become a star in Indian cricket. With time, Pathan also improved his batting skills and was soon considered as an all-rounder by former India coach Greg Chappell. However, Pathan - a veteran of 29 Tests, 120 ODIs and 24 T20Is - was not considered for the Indian team beyond 2012.
