Irfan Pathan's forgettable IPL night in 2010, where MS Dhoni's explosive hitting secured a CSK victory and a spot in the semifinals, has resurfaced due to an old interview clip. In the clip, Irfan hinted at Dhoni's alleged hookah smoking and favoritism, sparking renewed debates and trolling related to Irfan's international career exit.

After an old video of an Irfan Pathan interview resurfaced on social media and resulted in a massive speculation and debate on the way MS Dhoni managed the dressing room, Pathan himself has come forward to address the same. The former India all-rounder explained that his comments are being twisted and taken in a different context than intended, that too, half-a-decade after it came out.

Irfan Pathan's relationship with MS Dhoni is under scrutiny again after an old interview resurfaced, suggesting Dhoni's alleged favouritism towards hookah-smoking players. This contrasts with Pathan's earlier statements about his close friendship with Dhoni, Suresh Raina, and Robin Uthappa. Despite his all-round abilities, Pathan's career ended abruptly, leading to speculation about Dhoni's influence on his exclusion.

Defending champions India enter the Asia Cup 2025 as favorites, despite a recent lack of T20I match practice. Irfan Pathan believes India's strong NCA system ensures adequate preparation, cautioning them mainly against Afghanistan's potent spinners. He also highlighted Shubman Gill's vice-captaincy as beneficial and revealed Rohit Sharma's desire to continue playing ODIs, contingent on maintaining fitness and game-time.

Former India cricketer Irfan Pathan feels the return of Shubman Gill in T20Is won't put any extra pressure on Suryakumar Yadav as he's not an insecure player.
