Former India cricketer Irfan Pathan has labelled the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 clash between five-time winners Mumbai Indians (MI) and defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) as the biggest game among the first 20 matches.
Tilak, who was given a new role at No.6 after struggling for fluency at one-drop in the previous five innings, analysed his approach during his explosive 16-ball unbeaten 44, after the match.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Irfan Pathan said Pakistan may reverse their decision to boycott the India match, but questioned their ability to challenge India.
As the team gradually turns its attention towards the 2027 ODI World Cup, former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan has called on the experienced duo to stay actively engaged in domestic cricket whenever they are not part of international assignments.
On the ocassion of the 18th anniversary of India’s 2007 T20 World Cup win former India cricketers Yuvraj Singh, Irfan Pathan and Robin Uthappa shared special messages to relive the historic triumph.
Along with Irfan Pathan, Andre Russell, Faf du Plessis, David Miller and David Malan are among the other overseas players who have pulled out of tournament.
"I am sure 100 hundreds, he (Kohli) might not be talking about it but you know if anyone could achieve that feat after Sachin Tendulkar, he is the one," said Pathan
Recently, Bucknor, in an interview with Mid-Day admitted his mistakes but Pathan is still not pleased.
Pathan's comment comes after Stokes played a pivotal role in England's win over West Indies in the second test of the ongoing three-match Test series.
Ben Stokes' performance helped England set a challenging target which they defended successfully by bowling out the West Indies for 198.
