Special Inclusion – Irfan Pathan

Irfan Pathan might look like a fading star but he still is good enough to add value to any team. Injuries and lack of opportunities have ruined him in the past couple of years and fans have seen very little of him. It was pretty upsetting to see him go unsold in the auctions as well.
Pathan, at the moment, is the only all-rounder in the unsold list who matches Dwayne Bravo in terms of batting and bowling ability as well as experience.
A glance at some of his matches in the past domestic season also suggests that the 32-year-old has totally adapted to the shortest format.
The addition of a knuckleball to his bag of bowling tricks and hitting the ball with more aggression clearly indicate that he still has optimism in him.
