The Pathan brothers have been out of the Indian cricket team for quite some time now. However, they still actively participate in the Indian Premier League (IPL). In the ongoing season, while the elder brother—Yusuf Pathan—is spending his summer in the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) camp, his younger sibling—Irfan Pathan—has been inducted in the Hindi commentary team by the broadcasters alongside Jatin Sapru, former Indian speedster RP Singh and Indian spinner Pragyan Ojha.
Irfan, who was one of the most successful speedsters for India, could not crack an IPL deal this year. But it seems, he is performing flawlessly in the Hindi commentary box. He is receiving praise on social media for his work and recently, Yusuf also complimented him by stating that he is ‘loving’ his commentary.
