Irfan Pathan's Reply To Fan Blaming MS Dhoni For All-Rounder's Short Career Goes Viral

A Twitter user, seemingly a huge Irfan Pathan fan, blamed 'MS and his management' for Pathan playing his last international match for the Men in Blue before turning 30. 

New Delhi: Indian cricket team's former pacer Irfan Pathan became a star in international cricket in no time. He made his debut for the national team in 2003 during Team India's match against Australia in Adelaide. He made a big impact due to his ability to trouble batters with his lethal swing, especially with the new ball.  With time, Pathan also established himself as an all-rounder. He was a regular in the Indian side, having played 120 ODIs, 29 Tests and 24 T20Is but beyond 2012, Irfan wasn't considered for team India with the likes of Jadeja, Stuart Binny replacing him. 

Meanwhile, a Twitter user, seemingly a huge Irfan Pathan fan, blamed 'MS and his management' for Pathan playing his last international match for the Men in Blue before turning 30. 

"Every time i see Irfan Pathan in these leagues, i curse MS & his management even more...I can't believe, he played last white ball game at the age of just 29...Perfect no. 7, any team would die for..But India played Jaddu, even Binny #LegendsLeagueCricket," the tweet for a fan read.

Irfan Pathan in his response tweeted, "Don't blame any one. Thank you for love."

Talking about Irfan Pathan's international career, he scored 1105 runs and bagged 100 wickets in 29 Tests. he picked 173 wickets and scored 1544 runs in 120 ODIs. In 24 T20Is, Pathan bagged 28 wickets and scored 172 runs.
