Irfan Pathan

Irfan Pathan – Since Kapil Dev, India has not produced a better swing bowler than Irfan Pathan. Breaking into the International scene as a young teenager, Irfan made his mark right away and became India’s first choice new-ball bowler. Pathan lost his swing abruptly by 2005 and was left out from the national team for dismal shows. He was given the nod again, but could not match the early year displays.
