Irfan Pathan: The beginning of IPL2025 has been bang, but this season saw a major change. A well-known former Indian all-round Irfan Pathan, which was part of the commentary panel for the last several years, did not appear this time. His absence raised questions among the fans. After all, what happened was that he was dropped from the commentary?
Irfan Pathan, who has been one of India's finest all -rounders, has been dropped from the IPL commentary panel. According to reports, broadcasters were angry with his commentary as they have been accused of bringing personal feelings into the commentary.
According to the news, Pathan had expressed his personal differences against some players on on-air and social media. This affected not only senior players, but also many junior players. According to a BCCI source, Pathan took indirect sarcasm at some players, which led to the dispute.
During the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, some players of the Indian Cricket Team expressed their displeasure over some comments by Irfan Pathan. Reports even said that a senior player blocked him from his phone. Although no name was clearly revealed, Virat Kohli's name came into the limelight after seeing social media activities.
Irfan Pathan is often seen praising Rohit Sharma and Jaspreet Bumrah, but their opinion in Kohli's case has been different. During the tour of Australia, he gave his opinion on the clash of Virat and a foreign player, causing dispute between fans and players. However, these are just speculation, as Pathan or Kohli has not made any official statement on it.
Irfan Pathan did not give up even after being out of the commentary panel. He launched his YouTube channel “Seedhi Baat with Irfan Pathan”, where he is analyzing IPL 2025.
His channel is becoming increasingly popular, as he can share his opinion without any hindrance. After being removed from the commentary panel, he started keeping his views open on this platform.
Even though Irfan Pathan is out of the commentary panel this season, he is active in the cricket world. Given their popularity, it will not be difficult to say that they can re -commentary in the next season of another league or IPL in the future.
