Greg Chappel believed on Pathan, because Irfan had all the potential to be a bowler who could bat like the top batsman. Greg promoted him and believed he could be the next Kapil Dev! But Greg's controversy with Ganguly had a wide effect on the team- from there everything went down hill! Irfan Pathan will and should always be remembered in Indian Cricket- because his achievements are second to none! Good Luck Irfan!

[@Thelatebloomer23]

Totally agree.

[@robertlee-nq6mg]

That's true. Greg chapel had problem only with continuous bad form of Ganguly. But Ganguly made it look like Chappel had problem with whole team. Those days Ganguly wasn't performing for very long time. And Greg was quite pissed about his batting.

Irfan was my co passenger once on a Chennai Delhi flight in business class in 2006, he spoke non stop with such innocence and I was amazed by his good upbringing , he was so humble I cannot describe ! more down to earth then regular people like us.

Man, but he should’ve stick with his bowling rather than trying to become an all rounder . But what a player 🙌🏽 . His contribution to Indian cricket is unforgettable . Thanks for the memories ,especially 2007 T20 final ❤️💯🇮🇳.

[@monisateeque]

I guess you wanted to say 2011 WC Final. 2007 was a disaster

[@brajeshsingh2391]

Well he never quite had the pace to be a strike bowler so him focusing on all round skills was not a bad idea but somehow after the promise shown early on he could never maintain the level of the game. And once he returned after injury he was never quite the bowler. His speed had slowed , even his bowling action had changed. What really suprises me was how he is referring to Greg Chappell controversy. I thought Chappell's major bone was with Dada.

[@brajeshsingh2391]

just to add about whole comparison with Kapil. Kapil received a lot of help from BCCI in the last few years of his career. I would not comment on his game but BCCI really gave Kapil ample opportunities to ensure he broke Hadlee's record. Part of credit also went to Azhar who as captain gave Kapil enough bowling under him even when Kapil was not very effective. So comparisons are unfair.

[@vincy9394]

Monis Ateeque 2007 T20 was an epic final .

[@vincy9394]

[@MD-jm3]

He was man of the match in his last ODI (2012) & T20 and Dhoni threw him out why? In an interview Irfan said he tried hard to get back into team till 2016, he was highest wicket taker and 3rd highest run scorer in a domestic series in 2016. Even after doing so well in domestic matches he was out, finally he lost hope, waited 2-3 years and now announced retirement. I am not a Dhoni hater but the players who were as good as dhoni got out of team just after 1-2 bad series and retired way earlier than dhoni and that man at 39 is still finding his way back to the team. That's unjust.

Msd before becoming captain they had meal together everyday.

Irfan always Praise msd like fanbois

[@varunparkash9007]

Were you their personal server that they had a meal together or not after MSD became a captain ? Useless commetary ke liye kuch bhi likhte ho

[@maulikoza4139]

He always cries bcoz MSD bought him in Pune and CSK and didn’t play him matches. The grapes 🍇 were sour so I didn’t eat it. The guys is a loser, he was dropped from team India, quit team Baroda and didn’t find any buyers in IPL. Now that he is retired, he was play gully cricket with Yusuf.

Don't try to save G. Chappel. He destroyed your career silently. U r the best bowler in Indian Cricket history.
