Ankit_sharma03 Posted January 4, 2020 Author Share Posted January 4, 2020 He was a very capable batsman who cud have batted at 3-5 in ODI that time and did very well at 3 actually in those days . Never got the nonsense that ppl said he lost his bowling coz of batting.....haha yeah right Link to comment
Khota Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Should have stayed focussed on bowling. The allrounder bug got him. nevada 1 Link to comment
Ajju Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Biggest roumer in those days was irfan lost his bowling mojo due to his batting. its like kids used to tell their parents that they can study better if they buy computer Vk1 and Ankit_sharma03 2 Link to comment
nevada Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 He has been practically retired for a while and has now confirmed it officially. Wish he had a better career than he did given his potential, but he had quite a few noteworthy performances and served the team well. He seems to be doing a good job as a talent spotter, hope his work helps talented youngsters to get good opportunities to showcase their talent. Link to comment
Real McCoy Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 What a talent. Mismanaged by the team, coach and the selectors of that time period. He had the ability to swing the ball and take wickets and also bat decently. He turned to be a trundler in the end bowling cutters and smashed by bong boys of all teams. I believe he told once that he was forced to play when he had some niggle and it worsened it. Stupid from the selector who told him to do so beetle and Stan AF 2 Link to comment
Real McCoy Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Anyways congrats on a good career and hopefully end up in a commentary position. We are tired of Manju and Bhogle. Wish him a good retirement and good luck with whatever he is planning to do after this beetle and nevada 2 Link to comment

putrevus Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 When there was swing he was very good but when pitch became flat he did not too many other weapons.His Hatrick in Karachi test summed up his career.Pakistan amassed 599 in second innings. If he was playing today, he would have been great asset to this test team as a fourth bowler and capable no7 . Link to comment

Turning_track Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 (edited) A very good player for India who gave some fantastic performances, last played for India more than 7 years back wish his career was a bit longer on international stage but he was never the same after injuries kept troubling him. No doubt was a very capable batsman. Part of memorable victories in Australia & Pak during his first two tours, WT-20 win in 2007, CB series' final over, that T20 win in SL along with Yousuf when we were down & out. Thanks for the memories & good luck to him for his academy. Edited January 5, 2020 by Turning_track nevada 1 Link to comment
