I still remember a newspaper heading "irfan pathan ke toofan me ud gaya bngladesh". U were the first bowler i became fan of
Hehe seriously i also remember that😅
🙌🏻❤
But he lacks pace
@@muqeemkhan8263 He was just like what Bumrah is today for us. Extremely important bowler around whom our bowling line up is set.
His contribution to INDIAN cricket is immensely appreciated. That hatrick against Pakistan is forever remembered 🇮🇳💪
That hattrick is still afresh in my memory..🇮🇳🙏🙏
Who won that test match?
Pakistan won by almost 300 runs hahaha. Legend nonetheless.
My favourite of Irfan ...love and respect from Pakistan...
We love him

@@TheGeorgeous bang on brother
Grrrg Grrrg : so true!
This just reinforces the saying, If Life gives you a Rahul, make it Dravid. 🤣
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 ❤️💯🇮🇳.
I guess you wanted to say 2011 WC Final. 2007 was a disaster
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.
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.
Monis Ateeque 2007 T20 was an epic final .
Brajesh Singh he’s lost his swing . That has been his drawback .
"BEFORE he (MS Dhoni) became captain, we had a great time as well" .. Speaks lot of things :)
Dhoni after becoming captain screwed a lot of career.
That hidden message......Irfan was never given fair chance by Captain
Dhoni actually hated irfan he ruined his IPL career as well
Dhoni never supported deserving players although he was supported by seniors. His goal was tournaments or trophies and never team building I guess ! Irfan is a lost gem , we'll never find his qualities in Hardik !
2015 csk not payed a single game is 2016 pune ke liye dhoni gave only 4 game and only 1 over
Irfan : You can't find another Kapil dev.
Pandya : I don't want to become Kapil dev.
Respect and manners come from inside, can't be taught.
Pandya is a mad guy who doesn't know cricket at all
there is nothing wrong with both the statements
@@mohit.singhvi ok... but mark my words pandya will fade soon... he possess a lot of ego... he was touted as next big thing till 2017 but since 2018 he has been wayward.
Ranu mondal is hardik pandia's mother she instilled her inside to him, they are having same perception as of money earns respect.
Chappel treid to make India as Australian side. Promoting Irfan to one down like Micheal Bevan (Allrounder) for Australia.. it helped the run rate...Irfan lost focus on bowling & gained weight also.
Vaas , Bracken & Asif Can Be compared with Irfan (Swing Legends)
You keep hearing those names time and again: Rahul Dravid, Anil Kumble, VVS Laxman...!! Gentlemen to the core!
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!
Totally agree.
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.
Just one positive Comment about chappel and everybody forgets about the turmoil he bought in indian cricket ,damn, media platforms in india are really driven by emotions ....
If irfan would have been managed better than this 2010s decade, as an allrounder would have been dominated by Irfan...
@@mrdaman99 Very True!
Only dravid can give that advice
Absolutely dada
I'm not sure if Irfan mistakenly replaced the 'with' with 'to'. :) :)
Jokes apart, very nice advice.
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 formula was lick his boot and get a chance and csk quota
@@sachintirdia agree yuvi irfan bhajji zak gambhir sehwag...he chose player like mohit sharma above them
Am waiting for csk fans to reply saying dhoni is great and they will surely mock this guy
He got injured after that..
@@shekharjadhav0309 he got injured in 2007
Irfan Pathan, R Dravid, veru, laxman are the players with clear conscious, Slaam Brother...did i forget Anil kumble??
No you forgot Saurav Ganguly
Dada, Zak and yuvi
sachin
What they did to Anil Kumble as coach was beyond disrespectful. Shame on Kohli/Shastri for what they orchestrated.
@Akhil Vasudevan test cricket specialist? For the longest time, Anil Kumble's 6/12 was the best bowling figures. Shastri is a clown, he doesn't know what he's doing, just a puppet, a yes bitch to Virat Kohli's egotistical personality.
Msd before he became the captain- sums it all
I noticed that too in the his eyes 😄
Dhoni is a mujrim he should be in jail
@Donnie Darko sale kuch bhi mat bol
Chutiye
@Donnie Darko 2019 Mai captain dhoni tha na. Aur 2015 ki semis Mai saare out hoe jaa rhee thee dhoni was standing alone
@Donnie Darko bhai you are probably the smartest cricketing brain i have seen in a long time. Your views match with me so much. This corrupt guy never takes responsibility. Especially remember csk vs rr 2020 last me 3 six mara jo team ke kisi kaam nhi aya
300 international wickets at the age of 27 is a great achievement - BCCI's loss for not managing him appropriately
I was the only kid in my Mohalla who could accurately copy his bowling action.
@Venky Wank maybe he also took a hattrick then
bro, copying a swing bowler's action means to be able to actually swing the ball..
I just mentioned action - not speed, swing or hat-trick accuracy. Calm down, it was childhood and cosco ball.
The word mohala itself brings a lot of memories... The cricket is what we grew up with whether it was playing/bowling alone in the balcony along with Tony greg's commentary or it was trying to imitate some bowlers action.
@Venky Wank Hi frustrated guy!
His hatrick against pakistan would never be forgotten!
Hit ball on afridi shoulder,get 6 on next with same shoulder
@@dubbingworld2088 Afridi was Irfan Pathan's bunny
That hat trick was the only part of 5minute glory India enjoyed in that test match . Got thrashed later on
@@dubbingworld2088 what are you trying to say Pakistani
@@sksudheer dost me wo test match ki baat kar raha hu k jis me irfan ne afridi k shoulder pe ball maara tha aur afridi ne zara b pain show nahi kia tha aur next ball pe he 6 lagaya tha irfan ko.. Thats the power of afridi
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.
He was a genuine talent .
In life good fortune and luck matters a lot. ........... that’s life .
All the best my friend. , may be you will shine more now in your 2nd innings like our Sidhu pa ji.
Keep refining yourself.......stay humble and positive as you are.
What work you do ?
Rahul Dravid is a great servent of game. Down to earth, humble, hard working. He's a Legend. Respect for him always. 🙏
Not servant he is the gr8est legend
U r true inspiration for any boy who comes from poor families...
I feel the same Ayub. It was such a success story.
I cant forget those days when we were eagerly waiting for the Interval time in school and go to nearby houses to watch His bowling.. Memmories
So true, me as well, just reminded of my childhood days..🥺🤥🤩
True brooo
Vinay Kumar destroyed Irfan Pathan's career.
Cherished memory of my childhood😍❤
He will always be in my childhood memories. What a legend you are sir! 😃😃😃
I don't understand why we keep addressing them as sir... This needs to stop
OMG! Is there tear in my eyes?! My childhood.. my school days...
Drenched in Nostalgia..
What a fabulous team we had!! ❤️ Full of legends and promising youngsters!!
Wish you all the Best, Patsy!! 🤗
😅
1. I still remember Irfan's wicket-taking yorker to Adam Gilchrist in the 2003 test series (probably in the Sydney test🤔).
2. Irfan's talk has proved once again: There is One and Only one Rahul Dravid🤲... Happy Birthday, Legend 🙂
SOURAV GANGULY IS A GREAT CAPTAIN ❤️
No doubt
No, DHONI

Irfan Pathan is an example of how good the upbringing of bharati muslims is. everyone likes this guy.
Definitely..
I agree 100%, he appeared in many tv shows with his family, his father particularly is a very grounded and lovely gentleman, fondly told how the entire mohalla with Indian team had dinner at his place. This family made the entire country proud
Oh please.. don't bring Religions in sports.. please.. please.. please
@@AminGuides nobody is doing what you are implying. Your statement itself is a religious one. My statement was about his upbringing vice-versa our cordial neighbours in the northwest who preach us all the time also the eastern neighbour team who displayed great professionalism in the sri lanka trophy by breaking the window and door glasses . Remember and reflect.
He is a true indian
One of my favourite unsung heroes. When he entered the scene, I was shocked at the ferocity of his celebrations. He added such hysteria and he was the same age as me so it was quite inspiring.
I remember his first wicket against Australia and now watching him retire...time flies really fast
Before Dhoni became the captain, we had a great time..
*That's the Catch*
Ganguly groomed players which eventually won us WC 2011.
Sourav Ganguly the best Captain.
The Great Player.
and msd Teach them to do party and virat eventually got himself a party manager on bcci's paycheque, the head coach
evolution of indian cricket team!!
I don't think so msd captaincy was bit unpredictable that's why he achieved lot
I am tired of hearing Ganguly built the team..... enough!!!
@@sheru-xw5bc u gonna keep reading such things for sure! The truth never dies u see 🤷🏻♂️
Greg chappel wanted young fit players to take the charge and he was removed months later after him being sacked young players were sent into the 07 t20 world cup and india came back victorious greg Chappell was a visionary
I feel emotional.. Irfan bhai.. I those days.. 😭😭😭😭😭
He was said to be the wasim akram of even wasim akram himself said that he was better than him what a bowler he was in swinging yorkers at a speed of 140+ he was my grandmother's favourite player for a period of time but everyone is not lucky his career suddenly vanished but still great respect for him and now he is star Sports doing commentary
Love you Irfan Pathan. Those were the days, we used to miss school to watch cricket matches. I used to fake stomach aches to miss school. Missing those days. 😭
Have great memories of Irfan coming in to ball and generating swing and pace. Sad to see him stop playing early in his career. If he had managed his injuries better who knows what would have happened. He had the potential to be a Wasim or Kapil. Good Luck Irfan and thanks for all the great games and memories!
4:55 Rahul Dravid 😊
The Gentleman
He said msd before he become a captain he had good time
@@abhiram11296 That's not a poisonous thing. I really, really like MSD and he's my favorite but not accepting criticism for a dear person is not really wise. Human beings have multi-faceted personalities, accepting that is really important.
Constructive criticism is one of the most important sources of personal growth anyone could ever have.
@@abhiram11296 the team led by him in IPL got banned for two years and there no shame in that LOL!!!

Ms Dhoni is a poison to indian cricket
Captain of captains, legend of legend is SOURAV GANGULY.
Irfan, great player and a fantastic human being. Thanks a million for giving us good moments!
Huge respect for Rahul dravid for his advice, only a man with cultural values can advise you like that....! Stay blessed Sir!
Rahul Dravid has been that conscience to many youngsters in Indian cricket.
😔😖miss those players
Dravid, sachin, gg, zaheer, dada 🥺
I met this guy he is very humble honest
For those of us who grew up in the early 2000s we will always remember Irfan. Man of the match in the 2007 t20 wc final.
When ever we want a wicket, he was the one to take it
Very true
Will never forget the Yorker you bowled to get Adam Gilchrist out on your debut match:)
Just see in his eye when he said that "30 IS THE PEAK OF ANY FAST BOWLERS AND MANY PLAY TILL 35 AND I KNOW MANY GUYS WHO ARE STILL PLAYING BUT I AM NOT PLAYING" HIS HEART WAS CRYING WHILE SAYING THAT.😭😭😭
Good people always have only Good things to say about others.
Not a Irfan Fan but always highly respected him for what he achieved and contributed to our country.
Watched that hattrick live on tv!! Bunked college and watched it..it was my 1st year of Engg college..great memories 👍
Such a humble person nd charm of indian cricket
love you Irfan Bhai...❤️ never going to forget your bowling action and contribution to Indian cricket. Thanks for the unforgettable memories.
This interview made lump in my throat. Thank you team The Quint!
My favourite player in childhood was Irfan pathan. It is so sad that he couldn't fulfill the potential he had. Salute for your contribution to Indian cricket
Very generous guy...i feel so emotional seeing this...wo time gaya jab hum kanche khelte the, patang udaate the, gulli danda khelte the, kanche ki bottle peete the, cricket dekhte the tv par, lattoo chalaate the, sschin ko tv par dekhne ke liye poori colony aa jaati thi
Respect even more increases for Rahul Dravid!!
What a waste of talented guy like Irfan for lacking of proper management.
everybody have different body.
Irfan injury wasn't getting healed even at young age of 27.
Ashish Nehra also had numerous injuries ,but he made multiple comebacks
Vinay Kumar destroyed Irfan Pathan's career.
I saw Irfan's hattrick against Pakistan. That swing of the ball was amazing. #ThankYouIrfan
Highly underrated bowler. I have been his fan since his debut in 2003. All the best for your future endeavours!
So composed and taking responsibility for everything in his life. Real sportsman! Go Irfan!
Ganguly was the greatest captain of indian cricket team.
He was a fearless batsman though not technically sound and batted really well even against the mighty Aussies in their soil.After his stint as a bowler who could bat he could have concentrated on batting ( Steve Smith and Camerone White has successfully done that) and bowl occasionally so that vulnerability towards injury could have been reduced. He would have been better than many of India's middle order batsmen we have seen in the 2019 world cup
People cannot forget your service to Indian cricket champ. T20 world cup final always make me goosebumps when you've took 3 more crucial wicket. And many more performance as well. Dua hai aap hamesha khush rhe. !❤
Hats off to you & your efforts!! At the age of 27, you have achieve so much that no one was think about it. Inspirational to all youngster who dream to achieve something!!
you are calm and composed personality and we love you bhai...
Inspite of what everybody says, Irfan Pathan was a better batsman than a bowler. Greg Chappel was right and you must from his point of view also
I still remember how Sourav Ganguly used to give first over to Irfan Pathan and the way he used to bowl. Wicket taking bowler with outstanding career as an all rounder.
What a brilliant athlete and a much better human being. Humble , intelligent and always respectful towards others . He didn't blame anyone for being dropped. Right person to be coaching youngsters.
If India has ever produced a fast bowler who could produce a wicket taking ball every over; that will be Irfan. A true king of swing and exciting to watch.
Jyada ho gya re baba... Itna emotional mat hoja....
We will miss you irfan ..good luck to your future ...
There's one memory of irfan. Around 2008-09 maybe, he wasn't in team. I was listening on radio. Every second caller was asking "ye irfan ko kyun nhi khilaate , irfan kb select honge" . This was his value
For bowlers we struggled alot during those days he was the game changer for bowling dept
Every time I see him my respect for him just grows up
Ms dhoni before he became captain😕
moral of the story.
As a bowler you were fantastic.... The transition from a bowler to all rounder went well to a certain extent... That's when expectations began from you as an all rounder....
U r d pride of india irfan sir...could have been longer career than this...but whatever u did for indian cricket...that is heroic...and yess in 2020 too..i used to search the Hattrick in youtube...the three deliveries was unplayable....thanku Irfan sir for such memories.
For the uninitiated, Greg Chapel is on the board of directors of the academy which the Pathan brothers run, in fact Greg Chapel wanted to groom him and other younger players but things didn't work out
regards & love Pathan Bhai.👍🙂
Irfan Bhai you were amazing bowler and all-rounder and will always be for me.
Thanks for such wonderful memories, I always wanted you to be in Indian Team when I was in school.
U were threat to top three batsman of any country.
Thanks #Irfanpathan sir
He had such a stunning gift of swing. And a natural hitter of the ball. Could have ended as a legendary all-rounder if managed properly by the team management and support staff early in his career.
U nd zaheer bhai r indian treasure
I got Emotional
Thanks #Thequint
Irfan Pathan you're an honest, humble & amazing personality. Your smile says it all. You're always positive. We miss you sir.
One who leaves the beautiful memories in his life time is I understand as legends. And you are one of them.
3:08 to 3:14
The actual pain 😢
Irfan earned more respect in my heart for him now
That swinging yorker to gilchrist…. What a ripper,!! His first test. Gave me goosebumps. (Thanks to parthiv patel for dropping lot of catches in that series). :)
Rahul sir is so so legendary
Ur a legend sir...we love u..
on the other hand we have muslims like you also Irfan... wish for more like you... proud indian ... must say
He looks so satisfied and calm and cool...👏🏼
*I liked him... Match winning was so tough without him..Balaji and pathan was epic duo then...Pathan was really talented... I think management and Dhoni took different team set up and lots of players were left out anyways whatever matches he played..he was champ 👍💐*
But changing his batting position was a poor decision. Greg wanted to make him a batting all rounder but he was naturally a bowler who could bat. His pace too reduced from early 140 to 115 or 120kmph. That led to his downfall and less selection.
I was.. i am.. and i will always be your fan...
😊😊😊🙏🙏🙏
Love you bro and thanks for your contribution to team India
Doesn’t matter someone treats you bad they don’t represent india we as indian you got a place in our heart
My favourite Indian bowler from teenage - Zaheer Khan and Irfan Pathan
Irfan pathan from india
Asif from Pakistan
These two were really fire for opponents...🔥
Both are lost heros...
And believe me guys this guy was most hated person in Pakistan in his prime...
Just because he was always very dangerous and destructive bowler for us..
And i swear now i love him now..
Dear irfan you will be missed in international cricket...❤
He always knew how to get rid of Afridi.
Legend
One of my favourites...Irfan Pathan.....wish you could be in the playing 11...miss you....love and respect from Pakistan.....
Thanks infan bhai for memorable entertainment. I the time I am ready to enjoy your opening batting and opening bowling with Speed and output like hattrick against the Pakistan and specially all top order batsman. I love you. And I respect you legend have a great life ahead
Legend 👍
Once a inspiration for the Young's like us...Love you...

There is an underlying tone in this interview that makes me feel he left a lot unsaid and someday he will reveal some stuff that would end up being pretty mind blowing....or maybe he will take it with him...but he did not reveal everything....
