Former Indian cricketer Irfan Pathan has not been named in the long list of stars who will do commentary during IPL 2025. As per reports, he was left out of the list because of his alleged personal vendetta against the Indian players. The new season of the high-octane cash-rich league will get underway from March 22, with KKR taking on RCB in Kolkata.
Why Pathan won’t do commentary in IPL 2025
As per MyKhel, a section of players reportedly complained about Pathan, accusing him of brining his personal judgement in commentary. The report claims that an Indian team cricketer even went to the extent of blocking Pathan after being upset over the way the latter was taking about him during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
“Otherwise, his name would have been there. It’s been happening for the last two years as he was carrying his personal agendas against certain players and that didn’t go down well with the system,” a source told Mykhel.
Meanwhile, Pathan has turned towards YouTube after being snubbed from commentary duties in IPL 2025. He took to social media platform X to announce the launch of his new channel ‘Seedhi baat’ with Irfan Pathan, urging fans to shower him with love and support.
