Former cricketer Irfan Pathan seems to have landed in fresh controversy after his recent interview where he openly shared his personal opinions. His words quickly went viral on social media, sparking heated debates among fans and cricket enthusiasts.
Irfan Pathan on Hardik Pandya and others
While Irfan’s views on Hardik Pandya were already well known, this time he went further and included Rohit Sharma and Jasprit Bumrah in his remarks. His statements added fuel to the discussion and drew strong reactions across the cricket fraternity.
Remarks on Rohit Sharma
In his comments on Rohit, Irfan pointed out the batter’s struggles in red-ball cricket despite his strong performances in the white-ball format. He even remarked that Rohit’s average in Test cricket during that period was just six, and if he was not the captain, he would not have secured a place in the team.
Opinion on Jasprit Bumrah
Speaking about Bumrah, Irfan stressed the responsibility of playing for India. He said that once a player wears the Indian jersey, there should be no hesitation or holding back. According to him, players cannot just bowl a few overs and step aside, as the demands of modern cricket are higher.
Impact of Irfan’s bold words
With such straightforward comments, Irfan has once again drawn attention for his frankness. It now remains to be seen how his outspoken opinions will affect his standing as a commentator within the mainstream cricket establishment.
